yeah, group 2 - I have a set in my garage, I don't like the way they chop off at the bumper line at the rear, they don't curve under like all the other types of flares you can buy

I was going to use them on the van, but I have a better option now - pm me if interested

I would be interested in knowing about the option that is better for the van. Any reason not to post in public?

these arches are the same or extreeemely similar to the Mayfair arches i have on my '94 rover mayfair. I dont like them cos they dont flow onto the body well and have that annoying white trim (actually got ripped off on left side). Im getting sportspack arches in December sometime so when i get them off il post in 4 sale section

They would be knows as "works" flares/arches, 1.75" is group 2 and 2.5" would be group 5 .............I think :wink:

If you get a lead on some nicely prices 2.5" works flares, please let me know too.
