Mud flaps!

[paul jennings]

Talk to me about Flaps! Mud flaps, Currently looking at spacers and one thing you can be sure of when fitted especially the fronts you will get more stone chips on the front section of the rear arch.

@Pav has. His ones look really good and totally suit the car.

 

[Chris]

Yeah they suit some cars - as above Pav has them.

Also mirrors if you have very wide spacers!

 

[Dystant]

Unless your car is black... No, just no

These are what I used on a previous car more subtle than mudflaps cheap at £7 and can be colour coded.

Cant quite picture how they fit !

Where would one procure those from Paul ?

 

[Pav]

as Chris and DS197 said above..dont suit all cars but they work well..tbh with you I dont remember which one s I got from ebay..its been some time but im sure they were really cheap..they are rubber and they were a bit fiddly to fit too..

 

[paul jennings]

You can get them off eBay and there like flexible rubber with carbon look but I would colour code them as there flexible they mold to the shape of the arch really well.

many thanks for your kind words too

They were not quite the things I was thinking of when you said mud flaps, guess they would work if you only had a small spacer on.

Do these screw into the arches ?

Just looking what's available to protect my paintwork. I don't mind mudflaps if there the contoured type like these as they tend to be a bit smaller than the flat rubber ones.

Look's like a set of 4 'shewee's"

You can either use 3 small self tappers or double sided tape. The ones I bought the double sided tape wasn't that sticky so replaced with a stronger tape, it worked very well and no harm to the bodywork.

That would be my thinking too.

No way i'd be screwing my bodywork.

Quite literally.......

I have the feeling that these won't do much as even the standard alloys can make a mess, let alone those combined with spacers. Then again it depends on what spacers you're going for
