There's somebody in the US that does extensions that fit onto the original arches that look pretty tidy. I can't remember who makes them though

You need shooting for doing that to a defender :doh:
You clearly want a range rover. Just go and buy one.

To be fair... I've seen alot worse choice of big rims on a Defender than those. Still not my cup of tea but they don't look completely wrong on it.
better than this ****e anyway!
Shame, as this is what it looked like before he put those on it!
These are the ones I was thinking of earlier.

Yeah, aaronmorris is correct. The filler would expand like teenagers spot and eventually fall out. When you put extended wheel arches on something like an escort MkII you first pop rivet the arches onto the body, then you glass fibre them on, then you drill out the pop rivets and glass fibre over that. If you don't, the rivets eventually pop out of there.
You could try something like Sugru or Sikaflex perhaps, but it probably wont last.

Might get away with black silicon smoothed off with a wet edge, but will still be noticeable

Thanks very much for your advice, probably best to stick with the lips then, as in the big pic above. Cheers.
