Yeah that was probably me :P
I think that flares would be hard to make look good, purely because of the flare around the wheel-arch. They work great on Beetles and early buses, and even type 3's, but I've never seen them done well on a kombi. I guess there's always a first time for everything though... 🙂

I'm with you col on early buses the arches dont have a lip so spats look good (if there your thing) but if you have a lip I recon you would never get the right lines in other words you would look like a freek
recycle, restore, enjoy

i was thinkin of cutting all the way upto the top of the wheel well and getting rid of all the arches so i could have it slammed and be able to change the wheel easy!

There seems to be a bit of confusion as to what spats are. spats are a sheet of metal that covers in the rear wheel arch, If anything would make it harder to change a wheel.

If it will be controversial then I think I may have to give the idea of spats a miss.
NOT!

Here's some flares that were an attempt to overcome the flared wheelarch problem:

Yeah right, Whatever!!!:oWheel flare looks so good it actually looks "factory." Street critics have admired the wheel flares but they themselves considered the flare as a factory piece-until we let the cat out of the bag!
