Found these on ebay and finally some flares with a more acceptable design. I do also like the iceland flares from brettakantar and like, but they would cost above 1000 pounds.

These polish ones on ebay are much cheaper but they lack info and pictures. Has anyone tried them or seen them mounted with original bumpers? 
Due to Norwegian MOT i cant change the bumpers much.

Found these flares or a cinese copy in a deep dark corner of the internet one night, googling on my phone while I should have been sleeping. Was a bit tired so I kind of ignored both my new years resolution of not buying more polluting crap from china, and all the alarmbells ringing when ordering what is probably a hoax.
Now after a 8 or 10 days to my surprise, I actually got a tracking trace of the shipment.
This could mean that something is actually on the way.
Will post pictures of whatever arrives even if it is not something that resembles fender flares.

So as I said, it was a hoax. Should have known better but i was tired and half asleep so the too good to be true offer was just that.
Does not resemble fender flares much at all, it is a golden colored ring, actually made from metal with what seems to be real plastic diamond inserts. Made by the well known Chinese jewelry company "Cartier" :) Would be surprised if the actual item is worth 1% of what i paid.

 

Lesson learned not to buy more chinese crap or at last not from shenzen.
Shanghai / Hongkong has never been any problems, but no more chinese now!

Paypal had my back, and my refund has allready been granted.
90USD or 80€ is still money even here in Norway.

foreshortened ebay link above.

Still curious if anyone has seen anyone with these DURGO / Parafanghi flares anywhere online.
I think they sure look the part and these looks like they have room for tyres too. My 235's are wearing out so could be time for 30" or 31" now. I already have the gearing and hp for that.

I like the cheaper cut snake copies from ala-plast.
I have a set & the quality looks good. Ive only test fitted them so far as have fender damage.
www.ala-plast.com/en/home/2885-jimnya.html

Looking for a nice clean and straight LHD Jimny..... Not any more.
Got one that seems to have been magnatized and driven through the "Big Jimny Bits" parts stores too quickly so it missed a few items.

From what I have found on info of the ala plast there is not really much difference from the original ones so they would not cover 30 or 31 tyres.
The point for me is to cut out a bunch of fender underneath to fit large tyres with less lift.
And I still haven't seen any pics of the ala plast looking good on the car wich May be just my taste I guess.
Visually and functional I am after iceland flares but cheaper than the 1200 euros they go for.
