Thanks for the link. That is a good site.
Pity all the big flaps are white... They'd end up orange around here.

I thought about all sorts of ways to DIY, but they all had some sort of welding involved. I don't have any mates with the time or experience to weld something decent.
I thought of getting a cheap MIG and learning myself. There's some cheap MIGS on eBay.

Hi Gildo,

They say the art of making a rear glass protector from a beer cartoon is all in aquiring the empty cartoon to start with.

Wow, big T those flaps are huge!
Should certainly work in keeping the rocks off you caravan/trailer.
I like the way you can take them off pretty quick too.
I have some almost normal size ones (bigger than stock) that are removable for when I head off road. Handy.
Talking about painting white rubber black. I did that to some on another car in '95 and the paint still looked good in 2004.
