I've just unpacked my flares and the 2 fronts are both marked "front right" They don't seem to be different front to back from looking at them so I don't see what would make one left and one right...

They do look like they've come out of a different press though - there are some minor differences in the angle of the very bottom of the wheel arch. Anybody know how to tell the difference between a left and a right?

I'll post photos in a second, I'm just waiting for photobucket

If they fit perfectly together they are the same side. IF they do not they are opposite sides.

I see - they fit together pretty well but they've made a journey across the Atlantic so it's hard to say.

I didn't buy them direct from AA btw

thats a relief. that looks like my writing on the flare maybe. We are so careful with matching these before sending.

Ooooooops.

Anyone care to say for certain if they are both right hand side ones?

match them up to the car...you can tell!

try standing them upright with one bottom lip on the ground.If they have the same angle they are for the same side.

P/S That looks like my writing also, but I never saw those flares in my life.

IMO from your photos I'd say they're identical but that is just an opinion. I'd follow Georges' advice on stacking to confirm. Have you thought about converting that 6 into a RHD? Talk about unique!

I just checked mine. If you place them on top of one another they are almost the same exept the wheel arch is different. they have a different agle. very easy to see the difference that way. hope this helps.

When you put then on the ground you can tell that they are different. I believe you have two of the same!!

Does one slope up one way a tiny bit and the other the other way? (if that makes any sense )

Yes! and thats the only way I can tell mine apart. Side by side they look to close to tell the difference.

It's OK then, panic over. I think someone just wrote the wrong thing on one of them I offered them up to the shell and one REALLY doesn't fit on the RHS They do look very similar though.

Good news! that would be a long trip back.
