Bit Info Needed Re Mudflaps
Hi All,
I have just rang my local Subaru garage up to see if they could get me the REAL Subaru mudflaps with the STI logo on... & was advised that they no longer sell them as they have been super seeded by the prodrive ones.... Is this true??
I know I could go to Scottlow & buy them cheaper but really wanted the real McCoy etc….
Do you think I could still find them in another subaru garage?????

I do not know if you can still find them, but I do know one thing - if you are prepared to pay them prices you must have too much money!
Get yourself on e-bay - there are stacks of favourable comments on here about the £45 flaps available.

think you will find that its all the same material, kaylan, it just depends on what thickness they are using, 4mm, 3mm etc. I had a look at making these myself and to be honest they are not cheap as the material costs a bit before you start.
i suppose the difference is profit margins mate, have a look around.

as the subaru ones have been superseded, they are on sale on ebay for crazy prices, i got the subaru (not STi) ones off ebay for 20 quid, free postage, then when i checked who they were it was my main dealer getting rid of loads.
Lot of crap on ebay but if you are prepared to look around you can find some great deals!

come with STI stickers or subaru logos, the only differance between those and scoot lowe/prodrive ones are the rear ones arn't as wide.

£400 quid for mud-flaps is an absolute rip off! Paid £45 for some from ebay. I mean , they are only there to get muddy, or am I missing something??
