Its a lot of coin, just had a look at his website $ 540-00 http://www.lrautomotive.com.au/index1.html

Unfortunately there about the only thing available that looks any good.
With the good dollar maybe look overseas?

Paddocks in the UK sell the plastic Flexi Flares......very different to the Australian made fibreglass flares. Probably will not be much cheaper though.

The flexi flares are probably more durable than the rangie spares ones. being fibreglass they crack if you rub against trees.

Rovercraft probably have them in stock. Located in Ferntree Gully in Vic.

Madrangie mate have alook at importing flares as our dollar is looking ok at the moment and alot of O/S companies deliver faster then aussie ones.
