So the afore mentioned flares are meant to be almost identical. I need to
buy a set for my clubby project (its read for the flares) and at the moment
the only difference that i can see is in price?? is the a difference in style
at all? or is it a quality issue?

cheers
chris

W&Ps will be better quality, probably have no visable screws and be a different width.

Actually, what I wrote previously was when I thought you were comparing Innocentis
instead of Carlos.
I have montes, and the fit could definitely be better. They are 2" wide (from memory) where as W&Ps are only 1.5 or so.
The ends are different to. Montes go round the inner corner, and stop short of the outer ones.
W&Ps all taper together and dont go round. :D

W&Ps sell in the UK new for 60 pounds.
Monte Carlos can be more than 20 pound cheaper ($50).
Much cheaper if pre-loved of course. :D
