Mud flaps
I'm looking at getting some mud flaps, not sure which ones I should be looking at ?
I know what colour/logo etc I want just now sure if there's some better than others ? Is there any I should avoid ? I've been looking at scoobyworld for some, I know I don't want mini ones, does anyone have pictures of there's fitted and what sizes they are etc ? Thanks |
Rally Armour will be a well known brand / website.

I have rally armour on my hatch and they fit perfectly and look very professional.
no drilling either as they fit with the made brackets etc |

Thanks Attachment 43162 http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/o...CD8C0A734A.jpg Attachment 43163 Attachment 43164 Attachment 43165 I opted for plain black flaps and bought the chrome decals from ebay. The two self tappers at the far left of the fixing bracket are where you need to drill (furthest into the arch - now covered in waxoyl to protect from the elements): https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...33f2d4d3f9.jpg Hope this helps. |

Pics of my scoobyworld standard mudflaps (fitted with powdercoated brackets):

Awesome, thanks a lot. They look brilliant btw. Don't suppose you know the difference between your standard ones and the premium ? Those standard ones look exactly what I'm looking for tbh, would just like to know the difference though Thanks a lot for the pics |
Difference is about £40-50, and the premiums are made from a much stiffer material (which might not be too good if you clip your flaps whilst mounting a curb or travelling over higher than average speed humps etc.).
I'm very happy with the standard Scoobyworld mudflaps (which come with a lifetime guarantee - see their website for details). |

all I will add to this is that performance creation flaps are not in the same league as the rally armour ones and I know this as I have a brand new set sat in my garage and when I tried to fit them to my hatch on the back they went on and with hardly any pressure I pulled them straight back off and when I spoke to them I go no real answers from them and for the fronts to fit it would have meant drilling into the bodywork of my car where as the rally armour ones fitted into the holes already on my car both front and back and have been on there 6 months plus and haven't moved even a mill.
I cannot vouch for the rallytech ones as Tim told me that for those to fit my hatch I would have had to drill bodywork hence why I went with the rally armour ones and I am glad I did if anyone wants the flaps for a wrx hatch they can make me an offer as that would clear them out of my garage...lol |

Not the case at all with mine, fit perfectly, very well presented, very happy with them.

why drill if you don't have to is my point.... yes you can seal the holes but just supposing the drill snaps or you slip with it then you have a paint job or worse to repair or go with the rally armour ones and fit them with no drilling
the only thing is that rally armour do not do blue ones I would also add if you put the rally armour ones next to the performance creation ones there are no comparisons not only in quality but solidity as well... I clean mine when I do my car and front and back of the flaps look as good as when they were fitted |

I'm really set on getting some blue ones, what's so bad about this drilling ? I have a blobeye, where am I drilling and are they going to be secure ? As long as I seal the drilled area nothing is going to rust or anything ?
Thanks |

You'd have to be pretty useless to make an ass of it to be honest. I machine metal for a living, so am an expert on drilling, not going to be a problem for me, but for the typical pen pusher it might pose a problem. (Then again if you can't drill a tiny hole in your chassis leg don't even attempt to jack the car up and take off the wheel!) |

The drilled hole is no where near any paintwork? It's in the chassis leg miles deep in the wheel arch.

rally armour flaps come with a metal adaptor plate that you hammer on and screw the flap into that which is very strong and secure....I have had no issues on my hatch with them since I fitted them and they look very good as they are nice and wide as well and the logo on them is not too pronounced so they look cheap and tacky
|
What about these one's,
http://subaru-impreza.sgpetch.co.uk/...flaps/id=11568 I've got them in black on mine, been on 8 years now and still look like new, obviously they're more expensive than some of the other manufacturers mentioned already but they're definitely good quality and fit. :thumb: |

Mine wouldn't come off without a load of tugging and also the bolts/nuts removed. I know as I've had to take them off when I swapped the the 4mm thick ones Attachment 42798 and drilling four small holes is hardly drilling your body work to fit the fronts (you drill two holes into the plastic of the side trim) I've worse holes drilled where the dealer fitted the hideous OE mud flaps Attachment 42799Attachment 42800Attachment 42801 Attachment 42802 and for £70 I'm happy. I've known ppl import sets and pay £200 :crazy: |
