K200CSR Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Has anyone successfully lined the inside of their wheel arches to help stop the starring from stone impact?What works without adding huge amounts of weight?I've thought about rubber paint, plastic liners (self-made), wheel arch felt but don't know what will work so comments would be appreciated.Thank youCharles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrp Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi CharlesI have sort of, I glued 1mm tick neoprene inside the rear wings from the rear lights down to the bottom of the inner wings, to me this seemed the vunerable area. I used contat adhesive and got 2 200mm square from Amazon.Hope this helpsMrp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AristoCat Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I have just taken delivery of a couple of square yards of 3mm rubber to do just this. Will cut it up into manageable pieces and stick in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossy7 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Sorry to resurrect an old thread but.... it answers my questions but asks one other.... the sleeping mat idea, doesn't that lead to issues with retaining moisture if it gets wet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
