I'll need one of the clear light clusters please. I am the new owner of a midnight blue 330S!
Do you have them in stock or do you have to order them?

my NEW Generation II Mud Flaps arrived yeseterday for my Hatch from Ian @ Performance Creations.

Improved design and movement 'play' if you want them sticking a bit more out, or in.

Rob,
Will do thanks!

Salsa king,
I do want the overlays but I don't want to fit them myself (I'm not very patient doing that sort of task). I understand Litchfield do them so I might go get some handling mods at the same time!

Benji it's not that bad to do if 2 people do with heat gun and watch the you tube clip a few times. I bought mine from phil and didn't do a bad job first time. Not sure what Ian will charge you but I bet it's a lot more than just buying the overlays and spending a day doing it. The look is so much better best thing I've done to mine so far

I know what your saying Daz but I am a perfectionist and unless it's perfect It will annoy me every time I see it. I would rather pay someone to do it who has done them before and can guarantee good results. You are welcome to come and fit them? Lol

Finally stopped looking and bought myself an sti hatch, I will post pics as soon as it's properly cleaned. Still getting use to the change from my blobeye.

Quick thanks to Rob and JGM for bits of advice by PM.

I've looked at these on and off most of this year and have ideas for little styling changes, the first being the rear lights. Which leads me onto this.........

I've found the kit on eBay and will no doubt order soon, but just trying to get my head around what else I need as well as the overlays. I assume it's the rear fog and changing it from red to clear? Is this correct and does anybody have the supplier details.

Many thanks.
John.

Hi guys looking for a bit of help. I bought some rota force 18x9 et 35 running 245 tyres and sitting on bc coilovers. After getting everything fitted my rear arches are now rubbing on my tyres. What are my options here? Arch rolling? Or is more camber an option? It is my daily runner so kinda need it sorted ASAP before I have no paint left in my arches lol. Thanks

for those who've not seen them yet, I've now got the NEW GENERATION II Performance Creation Mud Flaps for the Hatch (right pic).

Better design on the front flat to the originals I had (left pic).

The new ones are 4mm thick compared to the 3mm the 'old' ones were. Also you can slightly move in or out the front flaps depending what look you want.

Hi mate, if your running coil overs can't you raise them a little to stop the rubbing?

Hiya daz, yea that's what I've just spent my evening doing. Firstly doing it wrong and increasing the spring rate then after a little advice from Rob I increased the spring rate to 5 mm as it was originally set at 0 and raised them around 6-7 seems to have done the job. Thanks for your help anyhow.

Regards Scott

No, Daz I don't like it there.

get a shorts plate and leave it where it is. its well balanced there.

Found this though that looks nice.... but you might need to swap your bumper..

would be interested to know how she did it.

Any suggestions for best looking wheel design / colour for a silver hatch?

Not looking for crazy offset though.
