Hi. I just foun those. http://www.minisport.com.au/prod432.htm
They are what i am after but they say it need a backing plate fitted?

Any idea what is that?

Edit: Also can i do better then that quality and price wise?

Edit 2 Sorry: Will they cover 12x5 superlite?

The backing plate they talk about for the Clubman S/LS/GT is the extension on the wheel arches. The flares are held on by the chrome side strip that fits over the lip along each side of the car and around the wheel arches.

I dont follow you

The plastic flares have to be secured to something...That is the metal arches that you can't see under the plastic flares.

In the pic below, items 33 and 34 are what they are talking about,



and it is item 35 that holds the flare onto the lip of the wheel arches.



Hope this helps you understand a bit better. The lip over the arches needs to be wider than what you see in the above pic. It has to be the width and same moulding as the flare.

cheers

Here's a pic from underneath,when new flares were fitted this year.
The plastic flare is pop riveted to the metal arch extension.
Hope this helps.

On my car its just a thin piece of flat sheet metal that has been shaped to the wheel arch and is only as wide as the flare, its been spot welded to the original lip on the Mini wheels arch. The flare then sits on tip of this section, and is then fixed to the guard and this sheetmetal piece.

Just go and see a panel beater or have a go ur self.

so if you where going to fit these flares do you have to make the arches bigger as well, by making the arches bigger could you youse the bottom as the extention to poprivit on, also wat size tyre can u get under them because i have a set of 13 to go on

I had no idae fitting flares woul be that complicated. So to make a long story short i need to make a shelf that's got the same shape as the flares so they can sit on it? I was under the impression that you used rivet to attach the flares to the side of the car not the lip thingo...

Why everithing is so complicated
