Anyone had any problems with the genuine article? Mine don't event match each other let alone my mini.

This is as the are out of the box. The one on top doesn't look very rounded:

Will some hot water be able to sort this out?

Hot water softened them up for me, worked a treat. Are you sure that you haven't got the front and rear flares mixed up too?

Cheers

I'm sure you'll be able to sort it out. :wink:

Speak to Peanut and see if he has anything to say.
(but I think all his bodywork was done at the Paint Shop)

mine are monte carlos which are plastic i had a bit of heat put on them to flex them to the body but that was because i am running 13" wheels. i would have thought the WP's would have been spot on for the price.

Another question do you have trouble with the petrol cap sealing. As I have one but it seems to not seal properly.
