A tip for you boy's that hav'nt started the manufacture of the flaps, Use a pritt stick to glue the template onto the Ali, when you have cut them out just soak in some warm water and the template comes straight off, Also Don't drill the holes in the Mudflap material seperately i'ts easier to drill through the Ali and the flap that way you know the holes are going to line up ! Unlike mine which are just slightly out.

Ok now just need to fit them !

I fitted the rears today!!





I made a 3rd bracket from bits of ali i had in the garage, but if you extend the rear bracket on your template and bend it, it will do exactly the same thing. Or there is enough material from the off cuts of the ali i sent to make the 3rd bracket, as long as it only goes through the one bolt.

After printing them out full size, i think 75mm x 195mm suits it better:-



I'm thinking that light grey would look nice.

Austen, looks good so far...I haven't even got around to unrolling the kaylan yet!

Noddy question re stickers....does anyone know a particularly good place to get some STi ones?....Scoobyparts do some, but only up to 100mm wide (they may do wider than whats in catalogue, just havent got around to calling them)...Any ideas?

Looking for boggo-standard white to go on black flaps (oo-er)

Finished!!!! Did the fronts tonight!!





You have to remove the 2 fixings that you use for the bolts in the wing, and the 3 fixings on the inner wing plastic liner, you can then squeeze your hand in to hold the nuts and washes in place. It a bit tricky but not too bad.

Great pics Austen, cheers for those...hopefully they're pretty similar to the classics, except the shape of the brackets/flaps.

Found a good guy on eBay that did the STi stickers for me...bargain price, 99p for a pair!!!

Got 4 pairs made up in 2 sizes, 120mm and 140mm, just in case...you can find him here...very responsive, had mine the next day, in a stiff-backed envelope to stop them creasing.

Cheers

Finally got mine fitted at the weekend, what a nightmare of a job ! My hands are killng me Scratched to pieces

My front flaps scrape when I go around corners too Think its because I have the Prodrive springs and its a little lower. What sort of ground clearance does everyone else have on the fronts ?

As you know the WR1 has Prodrive springs and I find that the only time I've really noticed them scrape is under compression after going over a dip in the road not really around bends?

Not looking forward to shredding my hands again either !

I think I'm going to have to remove at least an inch from the bottom of the front flaps to get them to clear when cornering. Getting some funny looks at the moment

I only have about 15mm clearance on level ground, so with a little body roll it scrapes.

Has anyone got any pics of the mudflaps on a Classic please?....mine are all cut and ready to go, but looking at the rears, the holes are nowhere near (like 25mm out) lining up with the predrilled one on the bodywork and the one attaching bumper trim to bumper.

Am I being stupid here?

Edited to say....almost done the rear mudflaps...remembered the RavenBlade site...

Any pics like what Austen did for the New Age would be, er, fantastic!

...still got to do the fronts, but fingers crossed and a bit of lateral thinking!

Cheers in advance

Spen
