The Vic Police have been pinging people for them!! Outrageous! I have no proof of this but will do a search and see what I can find. Makes sense just a crappy decision.
I remember seeing that on Facebook that somebody had been defected for it, but people posted heaps of regulations that proved them legal.

More money down the drain. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/mandu...rol/1075063236
I've had the Old Trol too long now for the car yard to shell out for a set of these. Be a mongrel thing if you swiped a tree as there would be no give in them.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

I wonder if they are pinging people with large tyres and offsets that stick out a fair margin. I have flexi flares but my tyres are 95% under the guard as I have a -9 offset on the 7inch rims. Its just for water and to cover the end. I don't think they could trap/catch someone in an accident.
Darn it, I think I should have bought an ST instead of the DX with splits.

I remember reading that too. What's interesting is my work car 94 Navara is parked right beside my patrol and the stock Nav flares are almost identical rubber compound and flex.
