Plastic garden edging from Bunnings is a pretty popular source of flexi-flares; the narrower stuff (100mm?) is about $20 for a 10m roll.

Not as bling as the proper stuff...

Cheers,

Scott

thanks scott, probably go for something with a little bling. not sure how the garden edging may effect the resale value :D

the clarke rubber ones don't fit pajero real well. fit a mates hilux sweet though. just wondering whether the bushranger ones were a better fit ?

I have the Bushranger flexy flares and they fit well,
they have a spring steel wire that you thread through
the outer edge once they are on,which stops the
edge from drooping but is a PITA to thread .
I'm happy with mine so far :)

How is the garden edging attached? Just fit it around and use scews and washers? Can it be done without seeing the screws?
