Default Lowered my Flaps
Given how flat my car corners with my suspension set up I decided to go extreme with my mud flaps and re-fitted them about and inch and a half lower than previously

Couple of pics showing before and after....

Before -






After -

look good, you'll be ok mine are pretty low at the front and I occasionally catch them on speed bumps at low speed only. Thing is when your driving at speed they tend to get 'blown' backwards anyway so it doesn't matter how low they are!

Had no problems reversing off ramps in the garage, but the front ones where a touch too low, they scraped just driving along so I've lifted them about an inch

Looks good mate

Just be careful not to catch it, I did that once and it came off! lol

Lesson learned now, a bit of tlc and you'll be fine

Mine are too low as standard, they keep hitting the ground as I drive down the lane to my garage.

I'll thoroughly road test them on my run up to Lincoln later today

The fronts are about an inch and a half off the ground now, rather than scraping along as I drove
