Wheel Arch Eyebrows
Are there any alternatives to the standard wheel arch eyebrows? Rubber? Flexible? And where best to buy them?

You can get flexible wheel arch spats (I have some that I took off mine). They are matt and unpainted. They must be a genuine LR part.

Rears fit HCPU but need trimming as they are a tad too long as you can see in photo I ended up getting rear corner chequer plate cut to fit to the arch. Thumbs Up

They can I found that out the hard way but they do give in when they are nearly bent inside out. Trouble is they are damned expensive for what they are. Primed Genuine are about £100 give or take without painting! (Please don't quote me on the price though) â­ï¸â­ï¸God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 â­ï¸â­ï¸

SGH - Thanks. I will give them a go on my Hi Cap.

I have built a camper on the back of my 110 Hi cap tub and extended the camper widthwise so (with 255's on HD/Wolf Rims) the tyres sit slightly proud of the existing standard wheel arch. I don't want stones spitting up.

Oh, before anyone asks I also had cut a connection between cab and camper allowing the seats to lean back. The standard 110 HCPU 110 single cab can only be driven by a spineless garden gnome, made of cardboard. Dunno how they get away with it tbh. I mean they are not the target audience are they? Smile

BTW is it an optical/photographic allusion that the wheel looks off centre to the arch?

Tx again.

I have them fitted to my 130 on the rear and the front on my 110 tipper with no issues and I'm a right fussy Censored

Britpart products are not all bad, yes they get bad reviews on some of their own branded products but if you want to buy cheap then expect cheap Laughing
