I don't doubt that. DAMD make very good quality stuff. Just trying to give the OP a warning as to what could potentially happen.

How low is your car? Maybe my old car was just too low :lol:

Out of curiosity, would changing fenders such as these affect your insurance?

I can just imagine them wiping you for changing 'structural integrity'

If your insurance company really wanted to be assholes, your insurance would be null and void if you fitted ANYTHING to your car that as not on it when it rolled out of the factory.......

But seriously if you're going coilovers etc then you're too far gone to worry about silly things like aftermarket guards voiding warranty..

No they won't - panels offer absolutely no structural integrity to any car whatsoever - they are purely cosmetic veneer and the amount of energy they would absorb in an impact is negligible.

Still, doesn't hurt to check - you don't get penalised for asking questions. I would imagine panels like this would be treated a bit like aftermarket spoilers.
I was going to procrastinate, but I put it off...

Naaah, they are only there to provide an aerodynamic cover for your your inner liners and the inner liners are only there to stop stones and water spray from going onto the windscreen.
