Mud Flaps

[harvs]

I went away for the weekend in the RH, so had lots of fun driving around the peak district

 

The car ended up covered in mud though . Was thinking about adding some rubber mud flaps to go at the back of the front mud guards - but not sure how they would look.

 

Has anyone else done this - do they work? do they look ok?

 

Cheers

Personally I would imagine they would look like a bulls t*t big chip guards and plenty of wax ,keep out of the puddles is the way ,hope I havent upset any one and before any one say's it my car is not a trailer queen ! nearly 30k in 6 years inc 3 LEMANS trips bye for now, mower man

Hi, yep, as Mark said, I've got mudflaps on mine.

Andy (Grim) and I bought a roll of rubber at a show and had half each. They do work, and I think they look ok.

I'll see if I've got any photo's when I'm next at my PC. ( on mobile now)

just fitted cycle wings and as a safety thing fitted flaps. as i could see the btm of the front wheel means a stone is aimed at my eyes. let alone my new paint work

 

thats a B&Q carpet tile £2.50 inc spray suppression. bargain

I fitted mudflaps to the front wings cos the stones kept getting in the car.

 

£1 car mat from Tesco cut in half. Look fine and they do not flap about in the breeze strangely enough.

i have some of the clear roller shutter door curtain plastic that i intend to try for this

cant offer it up at the moment, as i have no front suspension fitted atm

I have them on mine and they've certainly helped.

Great, thanks Guys

 

I think they look fine. So, I'll have a go at rustling something up.

How did you fix them on, Grizz?

[Guest Ian & Carole]

Mine on the front are sandwiched between the mudgard and the tube using the mounting bolts.

 

On the rear as you can see in this pic

I used a strip of alli strip from B&Q (in gold )

 

At speed they do blow up a bit but there is a good improvement, well worth the effort.

Same way as Ian's.

Simply sandwiched between the tube and the cycle wing using the original cycle wing bolts.
