Hi Dylan, your flares look OK to me in your pics, I don't know what fitting problems you have had. I bought mine replacement flares from Rare Spares, and they fitted quite well. The only piece of crap I got from them was the rear spoiler which was plastic. It was warped and did not fit properly so I returned it, got my money back and bought a fibre glass rear spoiler from them which fitted with no real problems. The only other suggestion I can make is to use stainless steel or black steel allen key bolts, NOT chromed ones. I bought chromed bolts and not only am I fighting rusting in their heads, the chrome made them too thick and they were a bugger to screw on. You can get the plastic flare piping from Rare Spares too. As you probably already know, they do a good mail order service so delivery to Lismore should not be a problem. We did not fit the front flares to the front spoiler as per the original L34 that has the spoiler on top of the flares, we put the flares on top of the spoiler. Still does not fit perfectly, but I think it looks better, particularly from bit of a distance. Hope this helps. Cheers, Ian
