CastAway Guy Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Drill holes ^^ damn auto correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I have had them in the past, only downside I can think of is reverse parking and trapping the rear flap between kerb and tyre, tends to rip the rear bumper of that side. If you are careful no reason it should cause a problem, just park a foot away from any kerb :) Cost wise you get eBay ones for £30 or you can buy proper ones for £100+, as ever you get what you pay for. Don't recall having to drill holes as the rear arch and front arch already had the holes for fixing in the bumper. Even if you do have to drill holes it will only be on the edge of the arch of the rear plastic bumper no issues of rust or nasty visible holes if you take off again. Check out Salsa thread of his flaps I think they were around £65 for a set of good ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastAway Guy Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=199_353_356&products_id=2635 Don't know if I'm allowed to post links but I was thinking of them ? Don't suppose you know if they will pretty much just clip on or do I need to start drilling ? I understand about the reversing and parking etc, will be careful thanks for the tip. I don't mind paying £100+ as long as they are decent tbh and easy to fit Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastAway Guy Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Also how do I find this Salsa thread ? Thank again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 This is the thread with Salsa guide to fitting flaps. Pretty much the same for new age. http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/8098-hatch-stiwrx-2008-mud-flaps-from-performance-creations/#entry48031 This is the performance creations new age flaps, exactly the same as scooby worlds by looks of it, with a choice of three materials. The top ones are more expensive than Scoobyworlds but a better quality material. http://www.performancecreations.co.uk/subaru-impreza--wrxsti-gdb-new-age-rallyflapz-x2801-07x29-blue-1343-p.asp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastAway Guy Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Are there any type of flaps that don't require drilling ? Even if it means the extra ££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsa-king Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Not that I know of . As you need to make sure they're secure. Only three holes into the plastic trim so you then push the fastening clip into. Very easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
