Has anyone fitted spats from Van-X? Just wondering how easy they are to fit. Thanks

Unless your trying to cover up existing rust on the arches, then most people find that within 6 months they have no arches as they trap water and cause the rust!

Decided to go ahead and buy some. Front spats were clearly the shorter pair. The two larger ones were different sizes and there’s no way the longer one will fit. Despite sending photos and polite emails to Van-X they insist that this is impossible and couldn’t have happened. Looking like this could turn into a long drawn-out argument so don’t bother folks!

The short rear one is for the sliding door side, so it doesn't rip it off when you open the door.
