Default Mudflaps on silver classics?? (request)

really starting to like mudflaps on classics lately..

but the problem is, you don't get them in silver anywhere..

so do you either know where to get them in silver
(and also have a pic of them on a classic)

or do you have a pic of black/red/whatever mudflaps on a silver classic?

might look good too although I'm not too hopefull there TBH...

anyway, show me the possibilities..

regards, Martin

That should be enough to convince you to fit black ones

starting to think so too..

the thing is, I want my car to look "clean", or however you want to call that.. no stickers and stuff (except for the nurburgring ones anyway )
So red ones can look cool but I think they'd ruin my car..:



posting this pic got me to realise:
I have to take pics with the new P1 Splitter on..
and it's probably too low to fit mudflaps anyway, is that possible?

well thanks for the pics so far and don't stop!

Curious about that myself, got a classic that has been lowered (25mm eibach springs) and tempted but not sure if they will need hacking to fit.

Anyone got a lowered classic with mud flaps, any issues / pictures?

maybe the easiest way.. would have to buy them in UK anyway because you don't get them in Switzerland..

brackets? I'd just nail them on..

Demon ***** do real carbon sheeting which is slightly flexible and not TOO dear.

I would get them myself, if i hadn't decided to get the Subaru moulded splash guards.

Thanks for the compliment. I believe it's a skyline replica spoiler.

Heres a newer pic that I took earlier of the flaps fitted on mine. As has been mentioned, they do a bit of road sweeping at times



Picture quality is a bit shonky as my digi camera is fooked so it's off my phone.
