🔍 Engineering Differences in Detail
🏭 Stock Wheel Arches: Conservative by Design
Your Defender's factory wheel arches represent careful compromise—balancing global regulatory requirements, cost considerations, and mass-market appeal. The stock arches provide minimal extension beyond the tire contact patch, designed primarily to meet legal requirements rather than optimize for performance or aesthetics.
The narrow profile creates several limitations: inadequate clearance for larger tires, minimal protection from road debris, and proportions that appear understated when paired with aggressive wheel and tire combinations.
⚡ Plomor Wide Wheel Arches: Performance-Focused Engineering
Our wide wheel arch system fundamentally reimagines the relationship between form and function. The extended width provides both the aggressive aesthetic and practical benefits that serious Defender owners demand.
Crafted from high-grade ABS material, our arches deliver the perfect balance of lightweight construction and structural integrity. The painted finish isn't just about appearance—it provides excellent adhesion and long-term durability.
🔧 Installation Excellence
Installation Innovation: Our non-destructive installation represents a significant breakthrough in aftermarket modifications, eliminating the permanent alterations traditionally required for wheel arch upgrades.
Zero holes drilled in your vehicle, 1-2 hours professional installation, and 100% reversible process that preserves your Defender's value and warranty coverage.
