Andrew, You have a U2U (hopefully )
I got some rather poxy ones off Ebay.. Never realised how wide a Westie rear arch was until I tried to fit them 'spose I could cut them down but can't be faffed. They're pretty minging otherwise I'd sell them on!!!
Stainless steel is a good material. Once it's polished it stays that way. If you use 0.9mm thick material you should be able to cut it with a bench sheer or a 1mm thick cutting disc, radius corners and fit against a lipped rubber moulding available from Woolies. this will make a really professional job. After 10 years the ones on the Special still look good.
Anybody used that film that you see applied by garages to costly tintops?...

Yes, I've used it. I was an ADI (driving instructor) don't laugh, and I had this clear plastic stuff on the roof of the car to stop damage
by the plastic sign. It did work and I would expect it stop stone damage to a certain extent.

A bloke i know with a tiger cut his own using an aluminium kick strip from the bottom of a fire door. Perfect width and thickness apparantly.

I made mine from stainless, i had a spare chimney extracter kicking about, dont know what gauge it was, anyway make sure you make them high enough,
as mine are not and the stones can come quite high up.
