I'm wanting to get some small flares for my NA to get rid of rub/hide thrashed guards/give space for normal camber. Autokonexion V2 flares are basically what I am after but shipping is killer from their website.
Is there any local suppliers or cheap overseas options to get similar sized flares?

Keith, what wheel specs were you running with those guards?

Im about to stock these.
Looking to change the rear ones to do away with the front facing part along the sill.

Around 30mm over is probably around what I want really.
Thanks for the link though, that's definitely an improvement in price! If no other options turn up I might grab those and see what I can do with them
Edit - Those look interesting Ross, any on vehicle pictures?

The wheels in the pictures were 15x7, 35p offset, but the flares were really to cover the 255 slicks. I also ran 15x8, 25p offset with 225 tyres.

Heres what they look like on the car. Definitely needs bigger wheels.
