What are your impressions so far? Do they look the part from your first impressions or are they a bit of ol' tat?

Cheap rotomoulded plastic wheel arch liners that need a tad of trimming to fit.
Not supplied with any fixings so you make it up as you go along!
Need a bit of trimming to fit.
I like the idea, the noise surpression and keeping "pooh" from getting stuck behind the expansion tanks and/or getting thrown up from the rear wheel and getting wedged where it does.
Can only be a good thing.

I bought a set off a German chap trading at Vanfest last year. He gave me a bottle of 'Oettinger' brewery beer as well! Havnt got around to fitting them either. He did supply a bag of fittings which are buried somewhere in my shed. Once the bodywork and arches are sorted I'll get about fixing them.

That would be Frank.

He had to sell them all so he could get back home!

Hey, has anyone fitted these yet?

Are you drilling holes in the wheel arch and then bolting them in, whereabouts?

Thanks, Rich

i have a set that i got from brickwerks . they take moments to fit ..no trimming..and no fixings needed but i did just for piece of mind secure with a rivit on the rears . i did bust a rear as i must have not fitted it properly and on full spring compression the tyre dragged it up and burst it!!!. but herritage sell them in singles £25..good times. they are fantastic and stop all the crap and you 'd think that they had always been there IF you noticed them anyway.

I fitted these by the way. I trimmed mine a little, as I wanted them to go inside the arch fully and it was really tight.

I also fastened them a little by drilling some holes in the plastic using cable ties.

Should be sorted for the winter and all the salt they use over here in Germany
