They look quite good fox! Did you make those ? The front ones look quite small though, to be effective enough to protect the rear quarters from chips?

the guy with the tie obviously likes them :001_rolleyes:

yeh - think they are my mk3 version - i didnt want them to big or to small - they do stop a lot of dirt/damage but dont totally stop it

used that rally flap material - and self tappers to hold in place via the wheel arch liner

 

[Fagan]

Could do with these for the protection but they really do look ****e imo. Decisions decisions.

Its more about the chips from the rock salt on the road flying at your rear quarter rather than trying to keep it clean.

Take a look at your lower rear quarter and I bet there is a a few chips. Only gets worse unfortunately

Absolutely - on both my old e46 M3's i fitted clear vinyl to them to protect the rear quarters, and on the Clio i compared the chips on both sides to make sure the car haddnt had paint

My flaps will be for all year round use, though like i say, fronts only for me

all this talk of flaps...!

I have just done mine, started off with some 4mm black rally flap material, made a template using cardboard, and fited into place using two self-tappers, the original screw for the liner, and two Ford mudflap clamps that I had knocking around.



















If I am critical, I haven't quite got the angle right, the bottom corner sticks out a touch too far, but at this time of year that is no great problem, I will probably give them a tweek at some point. Good news is that both came out of a single piece of rally flap material, so I have some left to have a crack at the rears.

Right here my mud flap a perfect finish



oh that white bit on the bodywork is ice
