flares/cutting guards on Discovery

How about a pair of tin snips and some flash jobs offa Fender????

;-)))))

you cant fit tiny 31's on a Disco without cutting? Joking right?

Guards wont do squat to a tire.. Use an angle grinder.. or if you want to do it correctly, replace the suspension.

Been there, done that with a 95 4 door. Truckster, you should know that suspension won't make any diff. to tyres rubbing and infact makes it worse cos of the extra travel. I had mine trimmed and lip re-rolled at a panel beaters for $100 a side including some painting. Looked factory!
I assume you are talking about the rear lower rear quarter panels cos thats the only place that 31's will bind.
Pay the man.

Thanks guys. Have already considered tin snips, jigsaw, hacksaw, angle grinder, etc. Already had longer springs put in (shockers already done before that) which gave me a little bit extra height. Main concern is with the width of the tyre (10.5) in the arch.

No worries , I'm in Perth. My advice would be to shop around. If the panel beater looks unsure and ums and ers, give him a miss. He would probably give you a higher quote anyway to put you off. Try a couple of you local Rover guys, they might be able to point you to someone with aluminium experience.
Cheers

try Discoweb.org they should have some thing.
