Aluminium Fender Flares TopFire - Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU 2007-2017

A set of TopFire aluminium fender flares for the Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU, 2007-2017. Aluminium instead of plastic behaves differently: the part does not distort in the sun and shrugs off branches, but it does not forgive a hard impact the way flexible plastic does.

The photos show the character of these flares: flat panels with sharply folded edges, no radii, no imitation rivets and no trims. The front pieces have a beak drawn forward above the headlight, the rear ones are shorter and plainer. The colour reads as dark graphite in the photos; the supplier calls it black.

Key features

• Aluminium - the supplier states the material outright, which is rare in this category.
• Stated widths - 27 cm at the front, 15 cm at the rear.
• Angular, flat form - a different arch line from plastic flares.

Fitting and notes

The supplier does not describe fitting in a single sentence - it does not say whether rivet nuts are needed or whether the original arches must come off. It also does not make clear whether 27 and 15 cm are the width of the panel itself or the added vehicle width - for a roadworthiness test those are two very different numbers, so settle it before you buy. The 25 kg figure on the listing is the distributor's shipping weight, not the weight of the set. We can fit them here.

Frequently asked questions

Is 27 cm the added vehicle width?

The supplier gives it as the width of the front flares, not as added vehicle width. We will confirm how it was measured before you order.

How many pieces are in a set?

The supplier writes about a set and gives front and rear widths, but declares no piece count.

Can the aluminium be painted?

The supplier does not comment on that. It only states the colour black.
