Aftermarket guards are good because they are straight and new but they can need some panel beating to fit properly to your car. I have one genuine guard and one "new aftermarket" on my car, You cant really tell the difference because it was fitted by a profesional beater. (M&C Doyle crash repairs) PLUG!!! Cheers. Adam.

Get them direct from condell park or smithfield. It might pay to trial fit them in the carpark and tell them to give you another set until they fit properly.

Don't buy them expecting them to fit.
Problems include
- Height of guard (5-15mm too high) This causes a bulging of the guard on the door opening gving you bad gaps.
- eyebrow fitment due to inner panel not being tacked on properly. Means you can't fit the eyebrow stainless mould, (even factory ones)
- Front lip of guard gives less wheel clearance that factory 1200 guards.
- Engine bay side lip is very wavey and needs panel beating to make it look factory.

Cheers,
Chris
