No difference in wheel arches until the new redesign 2021. And even then I doubt the arches have changed much, if any.

Do you know if these would still fit if cut in half and fitted lower down with the thick end at the bottom - more like a traditional mud guard/flap location?

Lance, I hope your eye/hand co-ordination is still top notch coz without it you will really struggle to get 'em on right and tight with double sided tape the whole way which seems to be the way to go.
Just sayin' as you're an even older fart than I am (only by a couple of years mind you) but I guess you don't have MS hassles like I do.
Unless you have a much younger helper to do it for you then all problems solvered!

Not to worry, mate. I’m pretty handy with a hot glue gun.

There is only a small piece of double sided tape at the top of each one which does absolutely nothing, useless, as youll see from my post I bought six clips for each side, there is a turned back lip on the arch that the clip will catch on and a theres some slight indentations on the spats I think easy to figure out, just start the spat at where it shows in my pictures in above posts, push the clips on the spat and turned back edge. Now I had an issue at the bottom as the clip dosnt really fit to well , no problem else where and nice tight fit, so the last 1.5'' of the spat at the bottom I did put some adhesive bonding along the inside edge of the spat to hold is firm and wedged it from the tyre , was set in the morning, if any excess bond pushes out clean with wd40 or a degreaser quickly , youll get a clip down near the bottom, but dosnt clip that well

**Question
Is it necessary to take off the wheel on each side for install or just turn the wheels in?
Just got them in and about to go install them.

That's what I figured. Ended up getting busy today so couldn't get the install done. Probably tomorrow. Thank you for the reply.

@powerhouse
Did you trim little notches 1/8 inch for the clips like the rock did?
Is this necessary to do? If you did not do the notches like I think you didn't, did you have a problem with getting them seated all the way and is your guards loose feeling because of it?
Thanks

Got mine done today. Came great. Love them. Glad I decided not to cut deeper notches into the spots where the clips go. They go on nice and snug and if I took material away they wouldn't be as snug. So I recommend not doing the notches like TheRock did. Not sure how is our tight now but maybe his double sided tape was thicker. Anyways what ever works for you is the way to do it.
I ran tape down the whole guard and used all six clips on each side. Good and tight and very happy.
My only complaint is the very bottom clip doesn't snug up as much as all the others, but I don't see it coming off either.
