My Name is Maurice, i live in Melbourne and own a Feroza CXI 95 Model. I have upgraded interior and have just acquired Wide Track Guards. I havent installed as yet because im missing some pieces. Should these guards fit straight on?

The widetrack guard underneath isn't the same shape as a Narrow Track guard, they are cut out a fair bit. SO the standard mounting equipment won't work.

I've got a widetrack (F310), I had to remove to fix my front right side flare after hiting a damn roo :bad-words: it has those bracket that goes between the mounting points on the flares to the wheel arch. it's not a straight/ flat piece, it has like a step in the middle

I'm pretty sure all feroza's panels are the same except for flares

So when you had the flare off, you didn't notice the large amount of metal "missing". The guards are 'trimmed' a significant amount over a standard guard to allow the wheel to travel upwards into an area which is normally metal.

well mine wasn't trimmed at all.. all factory even i had that broken flare off for 3 weeks, did a compare side by side to other nt feroza on the way back to work one afternoon, same panel nothing different,

I'm a panelbeater btw.

Ur must've been trimmed by someone before you've got it.

I can assure you it was factory, maybe another Daihatsu oddity between models.
