Default Orange Juice bottle wheel wells/inner fenders

I've been slowly working on my AX-10 X-trail chassis bronco trying to make it look more scale. I didn't like that I can see right into the truck from underneath when a wheel went high in the air when going over obstacles especially when taking videos. So I shopped around and couldn't find anything I really liked. Then I was having some orange juice and started studying the jug it came in and the idea was born. Here's the build:
well, I am trying to figure out how to add pics. please stand bye.

The plastic material from these Minute Maid jugs are pretty stout.

Update! Going through a rebuild and found these Skylanders blister packs will make a better looking Bronco wheel well with the angles.
