I like the thought of red mud flaps to match the colour of the brake discs; the car is silver metallic incidentally...

And where can I get the best deal... (are they easy to fit...)

All replies are appreciated

Thanks in advance

Try a rally supplier shop, as if you try anywhere else, you may well pay through the roof, for what is simply a piece of coloured vynil. those with fancy decals on the back, or even the "gen" ones, will cost a fortune

Marty,

I am not ashamed to say that I painted them red, after going throught the choice of either black, blue or... I thought red would look nice; and they do.

You get special brake calliper paint that needs to applied very carefully... and before anyone thinks or mentions it, I did not do it to immitate Brembo...

Thanks...

you can get sparco mud flaps from http://www.directcarparts.co.uk/exterior.htm

They can be cut and modified to fit your car.. and they only cost £12.99..... you could also sack the sparco stickers and buy some STI stickers from www.scoobyparts.com

Nice one everyone, somegreat lookin ideas...

Incidentally; ask a silly question... 'how do I fit mud flaps' (without examining the area near the wheel cos it's pretty chilli out there now 22:38 hrs)...

Thanks...

Thumbs up

d.horwich,

nice one!

adeel.a - the STi ones fitted to my car have metal brackets which bolt to the inside of the arches, thus securing the flaps. i'm not sure where you get them from though (other than with the original and expensive flaps). if i can think of any ideas, i'll let you know.
