Default Wheel Arch Protection.

Has anyone purchased or installed LR wheel arch protection? Can they be purchased separately from packs and how difficult is the installation?

Yes you can install and purchase them outside of factory “packs”

I had them installed last week. Not cheap but I didn’t want to mess with the adhesives.
> $1,000 - good look, worth the money. With wider tires, I’d say it’s a must.

I like what you did with the hood and front grill area. Makes it look like an X.

I really liked the X hood and grill in gloss black but didn’t care for the gloss trim, not to mention the added $10,000 + for X.

Hi,

I agree, I like the look but not the extra 10k. Did you have it shot or is it a wrap?

Originally it was going to be a wrap, but could not match the sheen to match existing roof, so ended up finding the perfect auto body pros that were really into trying to figure how to remove all the plastic parts without snapping any clips, since they could not be ordered separately.
Very happy with finished product, they did a fabulous job with matching roof.

Purchased mine from BritPart - although they are still the genuine article. Took 40 minutes to fit - simple to follow instructions

and look great!

Will wheel arch protectors come with new fasteners?

Yes, if you buy the genuine ones anyhow. When you remove the factory fitted ones, many of the white clips ping off and disappear
