Anton I am jealous!

Apparently you weld the wheel arc extensions on first, made to measure of course, then pop rivet or screw the flared onto the arc extensions before putting the chrome stripping in. Should look bling once completed and last forever (almost).

Chong, my inlaws 850 has no flares. They just got S brakes, and have brand spankin new contessa's (Mini offset)....so they are putting flares on now. Standard ones. Have to weld on the metal bases, for the flares to sit on. I have a set of those already.

It's a pain in the @ss, but that's what ya get.....

Er... Anton, it had 'em, (broken, & poorly fitted)- I took 'em off so I could fit Inno ones.. :P

Just a pity that the 850 original floor pans were rusted- original 850 floor was 1.6+mm thick, the new pans (from Pommyland) are only 1.0mm thick. Hope the good tar epoxy paint inside and out makes them last.. 8)
