I have something similar. Not because I like them but they are just there to serve a purpose. Like you say the paintwork gets a hammering - so its one less job to do

You will need to make up some brackets and also drill / rivet them to the inner arch too

or gt some clear vinyl (or plasticy?) sticky back sheet stuff (such a good discription) and put it over where the paint chips off.

cheers tony

will get them sorted out, might try to make the brackets a bit less rallyish

might try to get the brackets on the inside of the wheel arch but the body kit will probably fook that up

cheers
