Does anyone around perth do guard flaring like for a job or something, or know someone who can? Even a backyard job by someone who sort of knows what they're doing, lol. The new wheels are poking a tad out the front guard, rears are just inline with the guard.

I know i could probably do a bodgy job of it but id probably make it look tacky or crack the paint. Car is a 96 R33 GTS-t, ive read somewhere that the fronts are difficult to do, if not do-able at all? I dont need the inner guards if that matters.

Help would be appreciated.. i dont want to chew my new tires again pinch.gif

Was thinking about fibgreglass guards but they dont seem to look the goods on R33's. And a bit out of budget for all i need is an extra 10-15mm clearance on the front and maybe 5-10mm on the rear

Yeah Bunbury is a bit far, is there noone else in perth that has one or can flare?

I ended up taking my car to a bloke called Desmond - AutoFX. Rolled the shit out of the guards and ever so slightly flared, turns out they didnt need to be flared much. Anyway he did a great job and managed not to screw the paint up at all, even with a few existing cracks around the guard.

It was nothing crazy last time I got it done. Call Des and find out!

I did it myself on my last car using a hammer, but paint was't really a concern to me...

I recently did my own with same method Hank Scorpia used with the help of a heat gun as my paint is in good condition.

No cracked paint and clears my fat tyres.

Dez did a great job on my rear guards, but i do wish he could pull the guards out a bit more.

    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
