Hi guys, I'm on the hunt for some nice flares for my clubbie van. I was told the rear are a little different to the standard car. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

They look like wide MK2 S flares. He might have modified them?
I would like to use the Clubman GT or S flares if they are going to fit. They look like they are meant to be there.

Standard Aussie flares fit onto vans perfectly well, and look good too.

I've got Mini Special 25th anniversary type on my van from Mini Spares. I think they're same as for the sedan and fit just fine.
