don't worry, fill it with grease it'll be fine... once you find time to do it that is.

I've had the trim bits in my shed for over a year now and not got around to do the bloody job yet! Dan

Resurrecting an old thread....
Mark - how many of these VLR001623 strips do you need to do both rear wheel arches? I’m getting confused even after reading thread over and over
Is it 4 to do both rear arches with only one join or 4 to do all arches front and back?

Hi mate,

You don’t need any protectors on the front as the front wings are aluminium so don’t rust.

You need 4 to do the rears if you don’t want a join. You can’t run all the way round in 1 go. Have a look at your rear arch and you will see what I mean.

The dealer has them in different lengths, so it may be if you got a longer strip, you could manage with 2, but I didn’t go through doing that.

Some have recommended plastic door edge strips off eBay, and in hindsight that might be an option as my strips have been on 3 years and they are out of shape and need replacing again really.

That make sense?  2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Have just posted this on another thread:

I really wanted one continuous strip front to back so I bought something similar to the ebay link in rubber.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Door-Guard-...27cac56ea1

Problem was if you run it around the lip when you get to the at the 12 o'clock position there is a kink in the lip and I could not get the rubber edge to conform.

So never fitted it. On the 'to do list' though.

If you could fit a plastic something that could be heated to adapt to the kink it would be an ideal solution

How did others deal with the kink? Cheers, Greg

I used LR strips on trailing lip and the eBay sourced plastic trims on leading lip edge
Lots of grease used
