Flairs or Not.

Any chance I can see some pics of GT40 Mk1 with no flairs and 2” flair to compare looks and wheel sizes.
Getting close to ordering and need to make some decisions.
Thanks
Phil
 
Here are two pics of 2” flares.

Pics at the beginning of my build thread are prior to installation of 2" flares:


Plus this pic of Vaughn's:

Thanks Chris
I pretty much have made up my mind to go with the 2" flairs.
Just to be clear the picture I have attached is with or without the flairs attached?

Correct, that is the original standard bodywork.

There are varying alignments when attaching flares/altering wheel well openings. I had the ride height where I wanted it and set them fairly tight to the wheel/tire assembly. Others (even originals) tend to have a spectrum of gaps when built. I did mine very specifically as I wanted a specific look. Truth be told, I actually did them twice because I didn't have the ride height properly set and once I did, the rear clip had a twist when the gaps were even. I didn't like it so I cut out the offending flare and made it match the other- AFTER I had reset the chassis ride height (it's all in the build thread).
