What do you think of these:

Are they any good? Also it says they are easily paintable, how true is that?

Cheers,
Chris

Painting gel coat isn't that tricky as long as your prepair the surface well...

But are you planning on painting the rest of the car??? Trying to match painted gelcoat with coloured gel coat is going to be difficult.... If you're having the rest of the car in a single gel coat colour it'd make sense to avoid the hassle of colour matching and get the front wings from them too....

Yeah the plan is to paint it all, so colour match inst going to be an issue.

Thanks,

Hi Chris,

May I suggest that you ask what the radius is before you buy.


Personally I like guards to be tight to the tyres.
