hi guys
to be fair, me and reece said the same regards leaving the arches exposed as the top and front are closed in by nature of the cage.
perhaps a longish, hanging mud flap from the rear of the cage would look good when the chassis has been shortened??? if that makes sense,
and leaves room for bigger tyres later.
but we work to the customers choice at the end of the day
room for thought sniper???

I quite like the look of the exposed wheels, they will chuck water everywhere though, as you say....

Yes Doc, room for thought......

How would we protect the back of the cab ?

Does the tray cover the tread ?

The look or style of the exposed wheel is ok with me but I would like to trim an arch roughly and render it up, just to be sure.....

Cracking work from you guys again...

Like Doc says you could have some sort of rallye flaps
Make them quick release.....fit them with a long pin
Like pulling the pin out of a door hinge.one part stays with body other with the flap
