Discovery 4 Wheel Arch

Can anyone advise if I can get d4 plain plastic wheel arches anywhere or if the d4 commercial or d3 fit as a direct replacement?

Thanks in advance.

My D4 commercial has plain black unpainted arches.
I understand that the mud flaps are different to the ones on painted arches.
If you need any details to help order ones specific to that PM me.
I think they are the same fitting as painted, just textured and not painted.

Yes cheers that is the look what I want to go for. Swap my painted ones for the textured plain black plastic like the d4 commercial.

Just don't want to pay the price the stealers are after ha

I took my (bling) painted arches off my MY14 D4 and fitted D3 (proper) plastic wheel arches.
There should plenty about second hand as D3 owners prefer to want to “upgrade” to late D3/D4 painted arches.

The fit is exactly the same, only difference is the bottom profile.
The D3 is slanted v the D4 being horizontal.
So if you have moulded rear mud-flaps on the D4, you need to change to D3 flaps. ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Cheers ronp. That's an answer I was hoping for. Do you have any pictures of the fit at the bottom
Profile? As you say the d4 horizontal part that's the wheel arch fits against, does it not look odd with the angled d3 arch fitted or does it go over this now?

The taper on the plastic arches is at the forward bottom edge of the front arch and the rear bottom edge of the back arch.
It tapers up from the unpainted trim below the bumper.
In my mind the taper is more aesthetic rather than coming out horizontally.
I’ve got moulded mudflaps and had to replace the rear ones only (with D3 ones).

Not a great pic, but you can see the taper on the front arch here.

Your Nara Bronze is a lovely colour btw and IMO would really suit the ‘black pack’ treatment.
Had that colour combo as a second options when I got my Corris ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧
