I think rather than mess with dremelling out wider steel or alu guards (which is destined to fuck up, knowing my unsteady hand) I'll go for 35mm Chromoplastics and upgrade if I feel the need. I have them on the pomp and they've been fine in wet weather all year round.
You also forget about little things like cable stops and front mech clamps...everything costs money.
