2008 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Tonga Green

Looks like something from Troll Hunter!

For a spacer between arch & body, there are lots of DIY ideas, such as using a motorcycle tyre, whole or part. But for an OE look, a specially tailored/curved piece of material. Possible something the thickness, or more of a plastic bread board.

Maybe smooth (unribbed) PVC hose would work... Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender

2008 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 CSW Bonatti Grey

That's a great look - much better than a set of obviously aftermarket black arches.

Did you go for the standard or the "no-lip side mount" ones - Looks like the standard HD ones - I was just a bit concerned about the very narrow lip on the underside of the factory arches on my Puma

2007 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 HT Bonatti Grey

Hi there they have a lip on them....you have to be careful when you drill the wheel arch when lining it up as there isn't much to play with...better with two of you doing it as one can hold why the other drills it.....
you can see the lip on the pacer fender flare in the picture....hope this helps

Can I echo Hock's question? Is anyone importing these from Canada? Just fitted new 20" wheels with 'bloody substantial' hub adaptors, and they have shoved the wheels/tyres out by almost two inches!

Bushranger flexi flares in 35mm and 65mm. This came too late for me and I changed my wheels/tyres for different ones - so I still have a superb set of Evoque-type Style 6 wheels in perfect condition with Cooper LTZ tyres that have only done 6 miles...£750 Now left.
