wheel arch extensions

[totta Crolla]

I would like to fit some small wheel arch (fender) extensions but the rules I compete under only allow modifications like this if it can be proved they were a standard fitment when the car was built.
I can use parts from different years i.e Kouki onto Zenki etc.
Were there any fitted, however small, from the factory ?
Thanks

kouki models have a small strip on the fenders, but I doubt they are wider than standard because of the recess they sit in on kouki arches. You could probably bolt them to zenki fenders, but you would gain 1cm at the most, and ruin your cars looks and your zenki fenders in the process.
That is all that was ever fitted standard afaik.

Do you know what the smallest aftermarket ones are Ivan ?

Forgot the brandname, but there was an irish chap that sold relatively small flares a few years ago. You could try to see if MCNsport sells any modest looking flares.
How will running aftermarket flares affect your class qualifications?
You could also go the DIY route and flare the inner lip of the fender outwards and smooth that out. Looks surprisingly good when done right, and you wouldnt be using any aftermarket parts.

I use the car for both road rallying and stage rallying and the road rally rules say the car must confirm to its original outline, so an arched MK2 Escort for instance would not be allowed.
I'm not convinced my car has the original rear arches fitted unless the cars I'm seeing on here have all done the flaring trick you suggest above of course !
