Default Which colour mud flaps?

I was just wondering what colour to put on a WR1, black, red or blue.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Chris, I fitted black to mine, had the prodrive ones fitted at dealer, but have been thinking of having some from Scott myself as I think they are bigger than the prodrive ones, and putting some WR1 stickers one them as well. Stickers are now available from the dealer, get this left side nearlt twice as much as right.

think about the front lip splitter from Scott as well, IMHO makes the front of car look so much better.

I think it's already got the splitter hasn't it? If not it would probably make the car too low and knacker the (already poor) ground clearance.

Bit worrying about the sticker pricing?

Do you mind me asking how much you paid for the stickers?

LOL @ me!

I've just looked again at the other photos of the splitter, not got one! Looked the same on the side shot.

[Hi Chris, just checked my invoice, dealer advised me incorrectly over the phone, I've paid the same for both sides, they were £7.34 each, did not check at the time as I paid for them at the same time I had the 1k service, only focused on drive home !!

The front splitter has not caused me any prob's, got our fair share of speed bumps etc around were I live , I quote from a mag 'splitter reduces drag by 3% and front lift by a staggering 36%'. I am sure you already know that the STI equivalent is fitted to the Type 25.

I am more than happy with the red, they seem to give the whole backend of the car a wider looking stance than black, but you have to remember that I like bold colours and I am also mildly colour blind, WR1 stickers would definately finish the job off but what colour?
Some people hate the red , some say they are spot on.

Black looks best to me as well, not so sure about red. Does anyone know how much the front splitter costs?

Looks like it's going to be black then. Next thing to choose is which sticker to go for, STI or WR1?

Most print shops will be able to make some if you take a pic of what lettering you require.

Dealer fitted it for me, advised me me it took 5 mins, bolted on. Sorry have not got camera to do pics, but just take my word its looks great and changes the front of the car. Chap where I live came round when he got his WR1, parked nexted to each other, it makes a big difference IMHO. High quality product can't say anymore than that.

My only concern would be my wife parking it on a curb and ripping it off!!Having said that I have scraped the front spoiler on a curb myself,when I was distracted by something .
Its supposed to increase downforce quite a bit at the front,have you noticed any difference,with it on or is it more for looks?
I am tempted,if I can teach my wife to reverse upto to curbs!!!!!!!!
