These, I belive, are Mk 2 Cooper S flares.
Can anyone confirm this?
And can a kind person also give me the order code for this item.


Thanks heaps.
willy.

That's them - and a very nice liftup door handle '71 Mk2 Cooper S they're attached to. In the pic it almost looks like the front ones are moulded though which they aren't.

I've grown fond of Clubby flairs, they just look right.

Mk2 Cooper S flairs are basically the same as Clubby flairs (maybe slightly different width, I dno), so they also look right!

The way I see it, putting these on an old roundie almost isn't modifying the car, as they were a factory item. 8)

how much are they for a set that'll more or less just bolt on? need to get em and fit em before i have the body painted as i want the flares to be the same color as the body...

Ok we are wrong.
These are Mk1 Cooper S flares - as per factory.

Mk2 S flares are WIDE, a lot wider than these Mk1 flares.

Clubby flares and Mk1 Cooper S flares are practically the same (rear, with slight differences for front - obviously)

Supposedly, these Mk1 flares are about 56 dollars each.
Shite.
:cry:

Nah mate they are standard flares MK11 11/2 inches wide you could get 2 inch flares and these were an option for MK1 special tuning part, designed for rally use with group 5 regs, never fitted as standard equipement only as optional extra
