I have done a search and I know people have fitted these. Its dark outside and i have given up for the night.
The garage told me they fit using the existing fixes for the trim / sill.
The holes lign up ok but im having trouble with the plastic grommit screw things, I have removed them ok but im having trouble getting them back in with the mudflap, they go back in ok on their own, but they pop out with the mudflap inplace.
Did anyone else have problems, or have to buy anything extra. Apparently they used to supply fitting instuctions but dont anymore anyone have a copy they could post ??.
cheers

Are you talking about the plastic grommet that goes through the skirt and into the boldy at the rear of the front wheel?? If so i had the same problem when fitting my splash guards. The grommet isnt long enough to go through all 3 parts and then open up. I left mine off, but intend to get some longer ones from subaru (if they make them)

job done.
i removed the screw part from the grommit, put the grommits back in the trim then used a small raw plug to push the legs of the grommit out, I then used a stainless screw and a black cap for number plates to fit the mud flap to the rawplug / grommit.
its a good fit considering there not for the new age cars according to my local dealer.

yep will take pics after the weekend, been a bit busy today should of been working but i wanted to fit the flaps.
(plus the car is really dirty and i would be ashamed taking a picture of it).
but for £19 they look good and will hopefully stop the car getting as dirty.
