SLR's didn't have flares.

Think about it.

What's to think about. SLR's didn't have them. L34's and A9X's did.

Rare Spares would be the people to speak to.

My apologies.You're right

So im thinking about putting flares & bonnet scoop on my SLR what do you think! ps its a bare metal rebuild with a few non genup grades

They look cool with flares, but 99% have flares. Cooler to be flare less on a torana i say, unless ya a sheep!

got to cut the rear doors and the gaurds to. dont do it.

Rear doors and guards do NOT require cutting. Plastic flares used to be available from Dominion Auto Supplies a few years back and were a much better quality than the fibreglass ones.

Why do you have to cut the doors & guards! My LH didnt have them cut when I bought it. Only reason you need to cut them is if you want to run a 10" wide rim & make it sit real low.
Flares make them look tough IMO, otherwise it just looks like a stock Torana.

Yes, the plastic ones are better. The glass ones split too easily.
Just make sure you use stainless cap screws or they'll eventually rust (unless you painstakingly paint them once tightened on the car).

Anyway, to answer your original question. I got the plastic piping (insert) from an upholstorer.
lumpster, Jun 23, 7:12pm
Any body have a set of plastic flares or know of any for sale!

You dont need to do any cutting.
klrider, Jun 23, 7:42pm
Noooooo, use stainless, they look good.

I have a mate who had a genuine SLR and bought flares and american racing alloys for it off here.He sold the car but still has the flares and alloys if they are something of interest to you!

:fail: If you dont cut the gaurds you cant lower it and fit big wheels.
Wont look tough with flares sitting in the clouds with 6 inch wheels lol

ofive, Jun 23, 11:31pm
