how to flare guards?

Looks like it would taken a few kilos too

Thickest would probably be about a mil actually. Take your time with a hammer and you can get it smooth, then skim it over and sand it back and you're done.

Or if you are lazy like me then just use more bog.
Its a pretty easy process really.

anything body wise can be fixed with either a hammer, angle grinder, welder and bog.
looks like a good thing to do, might take some time thought

Thought of bolt on guards? or too Ghetto?

i helped a panel beater mate (read: watched) do his datto 1600 guards and he used a large slide hammer mostly, following up with a panel beaters hammer and a dolly and then finaly a minimal amount of filler. he made an attachment for the slide hammer, looked like an L shape . when i told him he could do mine next, he said mine (sprinter) would be easier because at the end of the gaurd there is a vertical bit of metal, that he could use to increase the width even more.

That's exactly what I did. I bent that vertical lip outwards to give more flare. Remember, front guards of a Sprinter are super thin, so along with flaring, we unknowingly pumped the whole guard out which gave teh uber-clearance.
