pics still not working

 

How about now?

 

Not doing it for me, but then you are the one that has to like it.

 

Hey Mish - give us a shot when you've got passenger side done and have it be from front and then from rear to allow us to determine if there is a significant widening of stance...

Who's flares are those?
Happy with the quality & fit?
Costo?

 

These are factory option, made in Austria, to my surprise. I think they are worth $300 + paint.

 

Do not like it since the grey runs over the black part on the bumper and the bottom of the car.
if you had a black car and it all looked black it would be better looking I think. That would be about the only good color with that

 

I totally agree.

 

You need to paint the black bottom parts silver to have it look good...otherwise as it it looks like its just tacked on there.

 

Definately need to spend another $500 - $700 to paint the bottoms silver. Or sell them to me:

 

OK factory part.. me likes. These would be the flares then from the VW Individual program, and are identical to that nice looking on that was for sale in MN that I missed out on?

What is the factory attachment method, I am guessing it is not adhesive but rather clips, pins, bolts type stuff.

So Mish - from whom did you source these beauts so some of us tempted to copy and be efficient about it.

 

Here you go, entire side done. These come with dual sided adhesive tape on one edge and need same applied on the other. I bought 3M brand tape at NAPA and made it stick like a MOFO.

 

I'd have to agree -and you need bigger rims - deep dish maybe

 

I know these Ford-T wheels got to go. I'll make them my winter wheels, now if I could only find nice Q7 22" for cheap?.

 

Ok, I'll let you in on a secret, go to Reydel Volkswagen Inc, or on ebay, item: 270387097783
So, there I let you in on a secret of genuine flares for Touareg

 

Sorry Mish, not feeling it.

 

Mish - I gotta say I like the way it lightly accentuates the flare of the fender which is lost a bit on a few of the colors. I do however think that the matte-grey finish of the lower sill, lower facia and such would look a bit better in body-silver given that the flare crosses the lines.

From the back/side view it suggests to me that offset spacers might help give the impression of filling the available width better.

 

not the look for me, but hey, it isn't about me

 

Lowers need to be painted.......and your need to have the correct stance to pull it all off

 

In Mish_Mish 's application, he definitely needs to colour code paint the lowers, since his extensions have already been painted to match.

My question is, what IF one were to leave the the fender flares black, to match the original black lowers? You know...kinda like the Audi Allroad look? I wonder if that would work on a Touareg or not?

 

I dont like them.I like the way the natural lines run.I love the way the stock wheel wells looks..very european,just like my Bimmer...

 

Will those fit the T2? I have a 2010 TDI. How much extra do they stick out? Depending what size A/T tires I end up with I may consider those. I prefer not to have my tires throwing slop down the side of the car - at least not on the highway.

 

This kit is now $75

Those pics of yours teutonic V10 have exceeded my expectations of what those plastic fender flares are actually capable of stylistically, although I did always say that they would work on a black, shiny, Touareg.

 

just ordered a set. im gonna try them in black to match the lowers on a white Treg with black wheels

 

I think Mish's looked odd much due to the rim size, both it being 17/18" but also total presence in width and tire size. 18's with oversized tires would be cool and so would 20" rims and 10" tires coming out closer to the fender edge, then the proportions would have more impact.

As it is, the smaller rims and tires are only made to look smaller by the flares.

 

I wanted to install the fender flares on my T-Reg too, but when I showed my wife some pictures she didn't like them... I think she didn't like how the rear flares are split into 3? parts.

When I thought about it, she had a point and I changed my mind about them as well (hey, they can be right sometimes!)

You definitely need to paint your lower parts. One guy who did a "wide-body" project with his T-Reg had the flares blended with the body using fiber glass I believe. It made the t-reg look as if it had a wider body that it actually did, instead of having flares added onto the body. Would've been a nice car, had he not used an ugly front/rear bumper kit.

Dunno if you're willing to spend that kind of money to have the flares blended with the body.
