having a play around with one of those ideas in the back of my mind, how hard would it be to make a reasonable replica of an SD front mudguard in stainless? it turns out quite hard 
, its not even easy to take templates due to the compound curves
if I'm able to get the shape right (big if that) when bending and forming then it might throw the holes out for the mounting bolts (which is why I didnt copy them on the cardboard templates) also the indentations for the rain guards may be a bit tricky.
if I am able to form the bracket, then I'm thinking pair it with something like this

its about 2" longer than a standard SD mudguard so I'd try lowering it down the back of the front wheel to 'lose' the extra length
