Cheers guys.

Yeah I was one of the ones that opted for the rears as the fronts would have been a nightmare to try and mould to the front bumper.

I might get the front ones in the future though if I ever get bored of the look. Hoping to have it all sprayed up by the end of july, just waiting on my carbon fibre roof overlay.

Rear spacers or 10" wide rear wheels?

Man this thing is going to look mean. Never thought of just doing rear flares, even though I have always thought the front was flared just perfectly...

Can I still get flares from the UK? Like, anyone got a mould?

^^^ thats exactly the look im going for. Cut along the lines of each panel and blend in the sides. Very nice sir :D

Mikefto is selling his on ebay as he was unhappy with set he moulded and made copies off . I would say none of these woulds be perfect but a little modification and it should look a dream hehe

----- jellgtr has one more spot on the list to fill out, so if you still need a set there your option.

Im pretty sure they're moulded that way, so little cutting is required to make them fit the DC kit. :)

Correct you are sir. They were made to fit the project F bodykit (the series 1 front bar, not their recent facelift aero bar) which was modified from the DC kit.

I have not recieved mine though but i've brought pictures to 2 workshops and one priced my 600 for fitment and paint, moulding would be $900.... But then i'd need to paint the front quater, rears and the rear bar all over again :roll: goodbye wallet
