Default Mudflap Question

Has anyone who has fitted mudflaps had any problems reversing up kerbs?

I am about to order some, but am worried they might get caught between the kerb and the tyre causing damage.

Thanks

yep, ripped mine off for the first time on Sunday, just clipped out and went straight back.

One word of advice - don't reverse up a kerb!!

Yep last time my car went into the dealer on its way down the ramp it pushed the mud flap up out of place, I think they are made to withstand it and they had no problem getting it back on with me peering over their shoulder.

they do make the car look good, give it a real WRC look

Never had a prob with mine, but my car has not been lowered so may not be as close to the ground as some of your cars

Yep pulled one of my fronts off the other week on a raised kerb, the guys at Performance creations sorted me out with new brackets and fixings FOC though and it was a 5 minute job to put em back on
