They are NOT SL/R flares, they are L34/A9X flares.

 

Although going by the number of regular SL/Rs with them, you would be forgiven for thinking they are.

StephenSLR:  my grill is the original one but heavily customised to suit the lights. Would like to show you a pic but for some reason I can't paste the link here.  You can see a couple of pics on page 8 of the "custom UC body" thread. I've made some minor changes since then but need to colour code and change the mesh in the centre.

For me it's putting flares on your SL/R or SS and not filling them out with decent sized wheels and tyres, especially on the rear.
