Mud flaps are OEM jobbis, they're NOT cheap, but seeing as the cars are 27K, it kinda pales into obscurity at purchase time.

Oh, they certainly do the job of stopping the crap flying up the sides of the body.

The Blue/Black are set to High(makes a difference on Manx roads) The WRBlue are set to Low.

If at the time of the car(s) purchase, i had known someone on Scoobynet making STi replica flaps, I (probably) would not have bought the OEM ones.

Then again, when the Blue one (read: Girly Car!) was bought, I should have realised my Visa card was making that purchase [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]............

Jason, I don't know if you meant a silver car or silver wheels.

Sorry mate, as an owner of the same blue car with the same blue mud flaps, i'll take the blue car any day

Black looks nice tho, all the same

You need to get the pimp tints now and then they'll look truly the dogs b's....

Seen the thread about the guy selling mudflaps (£120 a set I think).

How does this compare to the genuine ones? Cost? Quality? Ease of fitment? Hole drilling etc??

Black flaps and tints for Jason



Sti Man - Did it in Adobe Photoshop playing with the colours and variations tool. Silver is a bugger to do!

In reply, they are now £140 for a set of four, and compare nicely to the 'genuine' ones. They fit the same way, but are made from Kaylan - the World's best mud flap material (as used by Prodrive).

Hey STI Man,
Not been on in a while (the food in Nobles ain't too bad !) Here's a pic of my sti. As a result of the bike, the sti will be parked up for some time to come!



If you see my wife driving it around town, make sure she treats it well; if not let me know !!
Will give you a wave from the front pax seat of th frontera if I see you !

Is it just me, or does anyone else agree that the Sti Prodrives (or any other Scoob with a big wing) look fantastic from behind with the mudflaps?

For me its the most effective looks improving mod (not to mention paint saving) for the money - even paying OE prices

Unhappy

Sti Man,
Clipped another bike at the end of Cronk-y-voddy (my fault i'm afraid). Big mess and lots of plastic everywhere - didn't see him in the undulating road ! = silly boy. Knee and ligaments are in a serious mess, even with body armour. Still, have to say the police and ambulance service have been great.

Not guilty in regards to causing the scene on the prom (I don't think?? It was a beer injested time.)

Wheels match the bike - never heard of colour co ordination? (and besides, it came with them fitted) And gold is just soooo common!!

Resigned to the pax seat of the 'fire engine' for months to come. Any tips for keeping the scoob roadworthy??

ken

(edited for spelling - I'm under the influence of drugs still ! Prescription of course)
