how about you take sum time to study what your "defending"![Confused](images/smilies/confused.gif)
you cant move them closer to the wing, without grinding away either the guard or the factory side skirt, have you even seen ONE set fitted to a car close up?
they could be seriously decent parts if they fitted properlly, i dont know why thhey dont adjust the mould so they actualy fit like proper parts??
i could take a picture of mine with originals fitted for a comparison, there is about 1mm gap between the guard and wing on the fronts, and i have had mine off 2 times now, once was to colour code, second time was via sum donuts in deep snow

get sum and grind them down and show me how its done, to have them fit properlly there would be nothing left you muppet, how can you tell ME how to fit them, when i have seen them first hand and you have not
LMFAO ![Lol](images/smilies/lol.gif)
what are you bleathering on about diffrent matrials for, the genuine ones dont squish up against the bodywork, the replicas dont fit because there made in the wrong shape, not because there squishy

How come there were NO ****ty remark's about the gljam's mate's c/f 22b vent's that come with NO fixing's or underneath part just top section ???
gljam's
cost me just over £80, they needed a bit of work to get them fitting properly and you need to bond them to the bonnet
gljam said it is literally just the vent,
there are no bolts moulded in to fit to the bonnet
What was YOUR remark's on that , **** all but
bond a few bolts in and bolt it down properlly
![Freak3](images/smilies/freak3.gif)
two faced get , you rabbit on about these guard's but nothing about these overpriced "bond on vent's"

that fact that your throwing insults left right and centre, means IMO you have allready lost the battle "DJ"
you dont know what your talking about, i doubt you have even fitted any kind of splash guards at all, tell me, have you even fitted genuine ones before?
the inside of the guard gives??
dont be stupid, if that were the case it would constantly be trying to force itself off the car, working against the bodywork tape that holds it on in the first place, come back to me when you actually have fitted sum splash gaurds in the first place?
i did actually know that the 2 diffrent gaurds are made from diffrent things, after all i have actually undertaken the job in hand more then once?
i have held with my own hands a copy guard in my hand and offerd it up to my mates car, i have then decieded that it is no good, i have built one off front bumpers previous, i have "blended" kits in the past, i used to work in a fooken bodyshop![Lol](images/smilies/lol.gif)
i will spell it out for you once again, to fit them "properlly" would
IMO require this
guard needs ground down inside by about 5mm this will effect the join to the sideskirt reduceing its curve (the part you actually see where it joins the skirt) this will then leave a "thin" section visible to the eye, you would then need to build up the outside edge to compensate, you could grind away the skirt, but this is not that thick, to have the guard fit the wing you would end up with a guard which was actualy flush with the skirt![Confused](images/smilies/confused.gif)
or you could remould the top of the guard to give it more legnth so it would meet the wing,
or you could do what i figure a "pro" like yourself would do
fit it, pack the gaps with tiger seal and paint over the lot on the car
or maybe whack a load of self tapers in to hold it as close as poss and bodge over the lot, then whack sum paint on ![Lol](images/smilies/lol.gif)
mind the insults, you might start running out of them

Sorry Stiver,
what's these then [QUOTE]you knacker,you muppet[:muppet mongo alert: /QUOTE] why call me then ?
No i haven't fitted them, i took them 3 of them off as the wife "lost one" and swapped them for a fairing
yes imo the whole guard it self is not hard or rigid so you have "give" in the material
yes but also with the tape what's the 2 "bolt's" for then ??? could be to hold them in place ?
"Well done Chip Foose" but if you can do "all that" WHY make such a big deal over these ? and NOT say much over the "£80.00 STICK-ON vent's" which are easy to make compared with these ?
it's ok sara's got more , mind your's as well ![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
could be but they feel rubbery to me ? either material it's got "give" not like grp
Sorry once again Stiver
see you tomorrow Mikey

my work here is done
they dont fit, its simple as that![Stick Out Tongue](images/smilies/tongue.gif)
originals do fit
copies require FAR to much work IMO to make them fit like "real" ones, sum people only like to fit "fake" parts when the illusion is that the are infact "real"
others just like to fit fake parts as they cant justify fitting the proper ones due to cost, would you buy a fake scooby that looks like a real one but upon closer inspection it needed ground down and filled to make it look right ?![Confused](images/smilies/confused.gif)
suppose its like buying a smashed up car cheap and putting it right, its never going to be as good as the real thing, no matter how well you tart it up, sumbody will always be able to tell
