I agree with Derek. Ultimately, the decision to stray away from stock is a
personal one and the modifier has to be willing to accept the potential loss
of value that usually accompanies a highly visible mod. I really like the
looks of the Healey blue car you've pictured. And you're definitely on the
right track with wheel selection. The center-laced Cobra style wheels really
make the look of that car.

Paul,
My personal view is that they look OK if you are going for the full Race /
Rally look as per the photos you posted. If not I'd stick with regular
fenders.
You might also consider having flared fenders only on the front. I've seen
that done before and I think I prefer it.
regards
Derek
