Fender Flares ... and many thanks to Gazeddy

[RatCav]

Saw these on Eblag. Phoned up and got them reserved. A very kind Gazeddy went to the scrappy and collected them for me. Cheers buddy, your a star. Mate of mine from work was in Manchester and grabbed them for me and I got my hands on them today. Did a trial fit, and I have to say I am well chuffed. Cost was £40 plus a bit for Gazeddy for his troubles.







They are fibreglass and have a few scratches and tiny cracks, but nothing too much. I doubt they are originals, but definitely fit very well, and are a good copy either way. These were only fitted to very limited Irmscher models. Once fitted will give the old girl an extra 4 1/2" width each side ... Kind of make those 31"x10.5 R15 tyres look a bit small now.

Very nice and will give the icy van a butch look
Seriously though they will transform it, I have a few strips of rubber for mine as fed up of mud all over the windows

[Drift]

Just thought could they be filled with something like expanding foam and sealed with a coating to give them more structure/stiffness to cope with knocks?

[RatCav]

Example of them fitted on another truck:

[RatCav]

Quite probably Drifty, they are hollow. I am seriously thinking of taking moulds and seeing about production. The guys on Planet Isuzu are crying out for these, and pay literally top dollar. At work we get a lot of our parts injection moulded

[Drift]

Good idea, thats the first think I thought of was the Planet guys, they would kill for them over there $$$$ ching ching

[Hound Dog]

Look at the they come a free foot to hold them place.
She going to look stunning when fitted dents removed and painted.
Neal you'll need a toy for up the woods now.

[RatCav]

Already in hand Hound Dog

She is going to look good.

[gregster]

[hipo1024]

[RatCav]

All part of the great masterplan Hipo.

[drinksoptional]

white trooper on ebay ? I saw them you are hated lol

[BoxCleva]

Agree, need some wheels with a better offset without doubt.

[rospicer]

Do like the look of those, Deffo need some 33's on the truck now

[RatCav]

Ahh I got you now Drinks

If its any consolation I am going to look into getting them re-produced. If so I will let you know.

At the moment its a toss up between fibreglass ... which would be cheaper, or try and get an idea into how much they would cost to get moulded out of plastic.

As for the wheels, I am going to have to go bigger. As a friend said on ITOC I may well start talking Icelandic:





Both those trucks are on 38's I think.

[drinksoptional]

I would have to measuer the gap between the trees first before i fitted any way

[RatCav]

Lol ... there is that.
