I bought the same VO Zepplin fenders for my custom bike, similar massive size to a Pashley with 611 TT/70 mm rake. Spent 2 hours installing the front fender. It had horrible overlap, so it went gonzo. Repurposed my 22 year old SKS fender from a Raleigh, perfect fit.

I still used the VO on the rear, need the slack to get my wheel off. I find the bare metal to be way too easily scratched, dented and looking ratty.
