Thank you for the compliments ... you could actually cut metal if you wanted to, and I may but at this point Im not gonna till I get it out and see if it rubs... I have a feeling it will but we'll see.

I like the look those fender flares give it. I've been considering some myself just too give a beefier look. As you said though they should be flawless for the cost, and with the poor quality hardware you showed I'm having second thoughts. It's a shame bushwacker doesn't make any for rovers.

Now hurry up and get that front bumper done and put on!

For what it's worth, my Stock Flairs are short by almost that exact amount. Also, looking at your First photo on this thread, I believe your original ones were too. It appears the After Market ones were made from the original specs.

I like the After Market ones better, and think they were worth the money spent.

I was like ***** FU$%#ER!!!!!

For limited time and a limited run... I might offer my welding services to anyone that may want some bumpers or sliders to help the community. The prices on most are absolutely ridiculous... we all know... but well pay because there isnt many options for us out there. PM me and let me know what your looking for and we'll talk. Thanks for looking
