After following the Thread about wheelarch extensions I decided to take a trip to my local Screwfix.

Spent £20 on a 5 pack of Felt Support Trays
www.screwfix.com/prods/36622/Building/Ro...-Tray-1-5M-Pack-of-5

and spent 20 minutes this evening cutting them into strips 80mm wide.

This should give me 40mm for securing under the arches, and then a 40mm extension to cover the spacered wheels.

Were off on Holidays next week, but when I get back, the plan is to fix them using self tapping screws, and shape them to match the.

I also have enough to make another 6 wheelarche extensions !!!

UPDATE...
Just bought 6 lengths of this too

to edge it for MOT's etc.

Yep, have taken a few Pix during the "cutting", will get a few for here and also for Difflock as soon as they are fitted.

Only popping over to France for a week, then back home to finish my garage conversion, plastering & the house decoration.
Weather permitting, will be doing the Normandy Beaches.
If the Weather isnt any good, will drive to the Med and spend a few days in the sun there !!!
