Had the same problem with my twisted wheels with 285s. Dirt d-fenders made a huge difference. May get some for the rear too. Thumbs Up 2008 Defender 110 XS SW - M57N2 / 8HP70X

Those dirt defender things look good, will they fit with checker plate sills though?

Glad i had them, in Corsica last year !! reckon it saves a dinged rear wing

Would saves rear corner bumps as well in car parks IIRC Wink California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

They are quite a snug fit onto the panel and wheel brow, think the extra gaps/thickness of the c/plate would be too much, to keep it all tidy, and would have to "pack" under the wheel brow to make allowances California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

Just as well I don't have rear knocks in carparks then as I don't have them fitted.

Mud stuff have a picture on their website of them fitted over chequer plate but they do look a little twisted. Here it is

I'm really interested to see how you fare with the dirt defenders as my car has been constantly cake in crud over the winter

Cheers, might be worth a go over my chequer plate, even if it keeps the lower front hinge from getting covered in mud. I'll get some and report back when fitted.
