Info req - Subaru Mudflaps v Scotts Flaps
Hi all,
Probably been posted a million times before but if poss I would like some clear info. I am considering buying the "REAL" subaru mud flaps for my sti, However I have been told that scott lows are really good & cheaper. Although the price is important just how good are the real subaru ones? Is there any differences? if so what are they. Are they the same size?etc...... Some pics of Scotts v Real ones would be good. Cheers |
Although the price is important just how good are the real subaru ones? I am in no way saying that Scotts's are an inferior item as I have seen a set and they are very good. Is there any differences? if so what are they. Decals are different. The STI ones are reflective dont know why??? I will without doubt be in the minority because alot of people have purchased Scott's items and are more than satisfied plus they will probably be available a damn sight quicker than mine. I had to wait 3 months as they only make them to order!! Just my 10pence worth |

Scott Lowe tock the originals and used them as templates, and had the metal brackets made, so there is no difference in the way they fit.
But the real winner is, Original £350-£400, or £150 from Scott Lowe. Also Scott Lowe can't be that shabby as they supply Mitsubishi, yeah the company not the owners, with Mud Flaps. Swen6:thumb: [I should be on comission the amount of praise i give them:D] |

I am in no way saying that Scotts's are an inferior item as I have seen a set and they are very good. thickness of the material used possibly is one as I have been told my flaps dont flap or bend slightly when the car is moving at speed and Pete(Warby) who has some of Scott's fitted do slightly. Decals are different. The STI ones are reflective dont know why??? I will without doubt be in the minority because alot of people have purchased Scott's items and are more than satisfied plus they will probably be available a damn sight quicker than mine. I had to wait 3 months as they only make them to order!! Just my 10pence worth 3 months waiting list :eek2: what colour did you go for?? Any more comments/pics would be good. Thanks Guys |

dealer who put mine on scott's said they were same as subaru ones,even if they get damaged-mine have been up dirt tracks doing house visits and to nurburgring it seems daft to spend £300+ on mudflaps even £150 is a push
if you pay £300 are you going to be worried in case you catch them? they are mudflaps martin |
