Yeah, Cahsel has a set of original Zender box flares on their GRP spares page.

FWIW, it looks like 2002AD also sells the three styles IE offers.

You might check as well with Korman Autoworks.  I know they used to sell them, no idea if that is still true.

You may be a little confused here. As far as full fender flares go (Alpina, Schnitzer, etc), the front is the full fender, replacing the factory sheet metal, not an "overlay". The rears are all meant to lay over the existing panel. There is no non-overlay version. Some end after the actual flare, some wrap around the rear corner like the photo shown. Doing it right, you remove the majority of the rear arch to take advantage of the extended wheel opening of the flare. None are meant to be removable, unless you are using the flare as a cosmetic add-on, or you expect to have a lot of contact with other cars and want to swap them on the fly.

I like the ones in the photo cause Rivnut it on, vs bonding and filling glass to get seamless like the Ireland. I can’t find a pick of anyone’s besides this car that has enough flange to Rivnut to body

It may not seem like it from the photos on the site, but the IE rear flares have a flat to panel flange edge, similar to the one in the above photo that you can use a Rivnut on if you choose to.

Awesome, appreciate it! I will go with those then. Sadly they have photos of them installed

If you do go with the IE ones, try to get one of the guys to take a picture of the rear flare edge, so you can see it before placing an order. I'm close by and I could see if I could get someone to take a pic for me if you don't get a response quickly enough.

Zaprace in the U.K. has 2 types of Box-Flares, Schnitzer & "Club Race" Zender.

I asked for pics and they said to google them also they told me to contact a professional body shop… not the best customer service. So here I am hoping someone has something to show

Yeah that’s them and a tub not of them bolted down. Pretty crap photos 

[markmac]

The ones in your first pic on the red car are Schnitzer 'style' flares, the ones in the IE link look like Zender 'style' flares.  The Schnitzer style flare will accommodate a little wider wheel.  Wheels are a big deal, with any car, especially any flared car.
