Perfect for me. I used the plastic plugs to prevent any rusting/seized bolts in the future. No metal brackets to ar*e about with and one hole on each side needed drilling on the rears on my Classic.

Is this thread just a massive excuse to say the word "flaps", but in a perfectly legitimate sense?
I've got some mini flaps (he he) coming down from Scoobyworld. I'll see how I get one with them.

rally armour are probably the best out there (biassed but Ive tried most and they are just better) but get the PU ones.
essential if you have wider wheels or the gravel will strip your paint...learn from my mistakes lol.

I can see that the front flaps stop stones hitting the sides of you car when you drive over loose gravel, so why do you need the rears????
All I see flaps do is stops bricks and water spray hitting the car behind, which for £90 sod the car behind me!!
Also all the dirt and crap that usually flies out the back of your car when you drive over it, is nicely nestled in your arches, and in winter when there is salt on the roads the flaps are deflecting all that salt into your arches, and you wonder why so many classics are now got really bad rusty arches and a few bugeyes now have the dreaded arch rot!!!
Ill leave the flaps to the gravel spec rally cars!!

I have a WRX so going through the motions of spraying the crappy grey plastics with a nice matte glittery black. Tried it on a small part of gear surround and it looked good, so will spray the rest
