Wheel arch protection
I’m considering putting the extended wheel arch protectors on my 110 to protect a little from scratches etc off road.

Has anyone got these on their vehicle and if so do you think they make much difference with regards to protecting the wheel arch

Made a big difference for me. Mine had a fair few scuffs, but the surrounding paintwork was untouched.

Definitely.
Mine are quite scratched up from narrow lanes and once when I was in a very narrow car park.
In winter I also prop the skis and snowboards against them without worrying about the paintwork.
Also, IMO it completes the 'look'. 22MY Defender 110 D300 S in Pangea Green and Contrast White Roof

Yes — they help, but only up to a point.

On mine, the extended arch protectors do make a noticeable difference for:

Light brush/hedges and car-park scuffs — the plastic takes the scrape instead of the paint.

Mud/stone rash down the doors and rockers — noticeably less after wet lanes.


Attaching a pic of what it looked like right after I installed it.
