Just got bashed on the side of our GU Patrol by a black wallaby. Poor little thing broke one of its legs, but wouldn't let us get near it and eventually disappeared into the bush followed by 3 other wallabies that were kind of shepherding it.
Anyway the black plastic trim that goes around the front of the rear wheel arch (the one that is right next to the rear door) broke off. The mounts snapped off and I bet this will cost about $200 to buy new. Any other options that people know about?

Try about $340.00 from your friendly nissan dealer, a mate bought one about 6 months ago, keep your eyes on E-bay there have been a couple of sets on there in the last few months.

I just recently had to fix
mine. the problem is all the plastic tags on the flare break off. You need to get a plastic welder to ACCURATELY weld them back on. You can buy new posts etc then to fix it back onto the bodywork. I also had to use some Quick Grip to hold on the rubber strip that goes between the flare and the body. It all came up
well.
