willfromsussex Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Looking for some cheap basic wheel arch spats /flares for my 2 door Range Rover, thought these would be easy to find, but I can only find quite pricey ones from the mail order companies, is there a cheaper alternative, maybe just some universal stuff on a roll ? I have seen this in Australia but does anyone sell it over here? Or has anyone made some out of some kind of readily available material ?

willfromsussex Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 thanks for those. just checked out the bearmach site. some good products there by the look of it, couldnt see prices tho. Looking for somethung way under £170. had considered getting one of those big plastic water tanks like you have in the loft and cutting bits out of it LOL im really looking for ones that clamp on to the lip rather than ones you haveto drill holes int the side of the wing to mount.

I think there must be a problem with their website i'll send them an email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willfromsussex Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 *sigh*, no reply to email, no answer on their phone.. anyone ordered from them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clbarclay Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 They seem to have problems at the moment, so details, though not conclusive on here. http://www.mud-club.com/forum/index.php/topic,57289.0.html Pitty rearly, I had not long ago made up my mind to get some of their plastic arches. QT services sell a similar universal flare, though its more expensive http://www.qtservices.co.uk/product.asp?id=2913 I'm sure I've seen similar shaped arch extension somewhere else as well, though can't remeber where.

gazzer Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Hi fellas I have ordered some arches from roccia about a month ago and am still waiting. I am getting to the point of dispair now having tried e-mail and telephone but no reply. Annoying really because i have paid for them and they look like good arches.

iomlt Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 i have them and they are perfect, i know he was in hospital a while ago and unsure why hes not answering now! i also know that Scorpion racing sell his arches so might be worth buying from them. these are the arches i got from roccia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willfromsussex Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 yours loook like the hard plastic ones, i was just looking for that rubber stuff. i've emailled the guy in Aus to see what sort of deal he can do. danger of getting stung by customs though, but I get the impression it's mainly USA they tend to be hot on.

willfromsussex Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 ok im ordering from Aus. works out VERY REASONABLE including shipping etc! I'll update when I receive them and evaluate em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzer Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hi fellas Just got a notification from paypal that roccia plastics have refunded my money pending cleared funds. The roccia website seems to have shut down so maybe he has stopped trading. Need to get some arches from some where elese now then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEANO3528 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Give Jon a ring at Brunel Performance and tell him Deano from SLROC sent you. He'll sort you out for reasonable money and if you should manage to break one he would probably sell you just one for patching. http://www.brunelperformance.co.uk/ 01621 869425 Damn good bloke to talk to, who seriously knows his stuff! No connection other than a very satisfied customer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
