Default Rear wheel arch protectors

I have just replaced my tires with spacers and 20' senta wheels & tires (had 19" Jupiter wheels on before which are for sale ) My Q. has anyone fitted the Rear wheel arch protectors and what do you think ,do they help , I was thinking of getting Mina to make them of Carbon/Fiber as i have other parts in C/F. I am also waiting for there C/F xkr.s front & rear Defusers which they are working on to fit the 150 , also the C/F Tonneou cover for my rear seat delete project, Yes im a C/F freak lol. regardless, what do you think of the protectors.
Any photos. Bernie.

yes the arch protectors do a good job keeping debris from hitting the rear bumper sides, came on my xkr. I took of my senta 20" wheels and replaced them with 20" rs futura's dished. Rears are 10" and i have 3 mm spacers just to cover future new pads when needed, good rear stance. Even with wider rims and offset the protectors keep bumper arches free from stone chips etc and give the arch lip a nice look.

Thanks, love your wheels ,the protectors look good on black, Im not to sure on silver, but I could always paint them silver if I didn't like them.

think they wud look ok on silver, you always can paint yur choice. Jimbov8 i saw these rims on uk site and my local tyre dealer got them in for me. Correct fitment, 10x20 120 mm lip rears and 8.5x20 90 mm lip fronts, 3mm spacers to cover new pads when needed. Cost me 1600 euros rims only as had to get them in special order and i took wider rears. Polished face and stainless steel lip which can be replaced if damaged. Have new Dunlops on as was originally on, find them good with no issues and plenty of grip, i'm happy.

RS Futura 8.5x20" Alloy Wheels Finished in Black with Diamond Cut Face and Stainless Steel Rim
