Alloygators Very happy with the result

HI ALL
New car arrived at the dealers today
So i had some rubber put on the new Wheels i have bought.
Got them back to the office and fitted the Alloygators.
Easy to fit
I think they look great and should save me a fortune in refurbs

You should win 'most wanted & waited for picture'

To be fair they look a lot better than the silver ones which just looked wrong!

Thanks again!

I had one come out despite seating correctly as per the instructions.
It damaged the mud guard which, to the suppliers credit, they have agreed to replace.
I am told it's something about the sidewalls flexing but they are working on a fix.
Hope they sort it as it's a good idea.

Some good photo's there that give a very goo indication of what they look like, and I think the black really is the way to go.
Hopefully they can come up with a fix, but will just have to rely on the dipping side mirrors and the surround camera's for the time being...

Thanks Gazzer

I have spoken to Chris today from Alloygator and yes there is a problem.
He suggested that we glue the two ends together as the problem is that end comes out. They are looking at a fix with a clip that holds the ends together. i will try and glue them and see what happens.
Also i'm going to speak to Kurt tomorrow to see what wheels to problem exists on.

I will post more news afterwards.

Thanks for the update Gazzer 2017 Range Rover Sport SVR

I would have thought the ends come out first but they don't, it appears random.

I re-fitted mine several times thinking it was me but it's not.

They move out all around the perimeter, not just at the ends.

At first I thought they'd moved because wifey had kerbed them, but sadly not...

edited to add.. Alloygator have been completely "up-front" and very helpful. Credit where credit's due...
