I know as I've had to take them off when I swapped the the 4mm thick ones


and drilling four small holes is hardly drilling your body work to fit the fronts (you drill two holes into the plastic of the side trim) I've worse holes drilled where the dealer fitted the hideous OE mud flaps





and for £70 I'm happy. I've known ppl import sets and pay £200 :crazy:

I actually like the style of oe ones, and few holes in plastic arch liner ain't that bad

You can just about make out the plastic rivets on top flaps that mount flush with inner arch liner

I put the prodrive decals on them as they come plain

my OE ones were made of stiff plastic and the out covering layer started to peel off and they looked pants

It's frustrating that all the decent manufacturers seem to be in the states. I mean i know Scooby world do them, but i have a wagon, and they specifically say they wont fit. Hadn't thought about ripping them of on cubs and stuff. Do the you have to be really careful if you have the thick PU ones?

I can't reccomend performance creation ones highly enough, I emailed them and had polite professional responses and they also gave me 20% off. When people slate the eBay ones are you buying the cheaper pvc ones or the expensive kaylan ones ? We fitted the kaylan ones to our focus Rs and the sti and perfect.

I got mine from Scott Lowe, had them on for nine years with no issues. Trouble is I don't think they are still in business but I could be wrong.

I'm thinking about buying flaps for my MY00 Classic GC8, Rally Blue / Sonic Blue / 74F.



Could anyone give me advice or show me some pictures, which manufacturer's flap is matching this kind of blue? Are there any, or the flap's in blue are kind of different?

Thanks for your help!

go black, then you're not having to worry about the blue not being correct.

I used http://www.performancecreations.co.uk/ and got the 4mm thick ones, they fitted perfectly and securely. Took me about 30 mins to do all 4 and most of that was jacking up and removing the rear wheels the front can be fitted by turning the wheel. no drilling needed.

I'd echo the above.

I purchased a set of the Kaylan mud flaps for mine and could not be happier with them. Excellent service provided from the team at PC and a really well made item that fits superbly. More than happy to support a British company rather than an 'ebay special' as far as I'm concerned!
