LUIGI-3 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 so finally my new mudflaps arrived. so went on fitting fronts first which looks really good. but rears are bit of an worry. basically wheb i fitted fronts there is like a splash guard or whatever you call it onto which you can bolt your mudflap. but rear doesnt have it on the arch lip there are 3 holes and i suspect something was removed ? i didnt take pic of it yet, will do that tomorrow. any ideas please? here is pic of what they look like in front
Scooby Pete Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I had some rally mud flaps and the were fixed to the car through the 3 holes in the rear bumper. Seems logical that you would use the fixing points as well.

Seems logical that you would use the fixing points as well. i know what you mean mate but what seems strange is that you need something flat to mount that mudflaps against. i have 3 holes in bumper as well but they are in sort of vertical line. so half of the mudflap would not be bolted? anyway i will have to take rear wheels off to get proper access. but this is what it looks like
Scooby Pete Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 The rally flaps came with a metal bracket. If I remember rightly they fixed to a piece of the body work at the back inside corner of the wheel well. Your flaps look quite rigid, if you offer them up does the inside corner of the flap meet the body work anywhere? Have a look at this page. http://www.oakos.com/product_docs/RA-MF1.pdf There's is a pic near the bottom showing the fixing point for the inner rear wheel arch. 1
LUIGI-3 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 what im trying to say is that in front arch its nice and flat so you just bolt them on. but on rear its not flat so you would have to bend it?
LUIGI-3 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 yes mate it does but you need to bend them. and you're right they are bit hard. but you can bend them. just thought it wont look right
Scooby Pete Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Ah I'm with you now :D Never had the rigid type of flaps always had the rally type.
LUIGI-3 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 No worries mate, you've been very helpful. thanks for puting me on right track i know (i think :) ) what to do now ;)
Ash007ks Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I have the same and mine are setup exactly the same as how you mentioned. 2
LUIGI-3 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 Ash - thats them mate :) how did you make them fit on rear? did you have to use any special clips or screws? they came with 4 screws for each flap but screws are too small to fit into bumper holes. Thank s mate :)
Ash007ks Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Your welcome and some self tappers did the job, its fiddly with the wheel on but can be done :) 1
LUIGI-3 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 awesome mate thank a million for that :)
Scooby Pete Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Luigi where did you get them from? and do they do for 2008 models onwards?
