Default Flaps or no flaps

IMudflaps are growing on me, I used to hate them! Now I own an impreza and have seen several with them on, I quite like them. I am tempted to buy some from scoobyworld for £65 blue with the white sti logos. Would you bother?????????????????????????

No reason at all, I choose to use PC and have been very pleased with their customer service, that's taking nothing away from any other vendor which supply that type of product.

PC have used my car in some of their add's over the months, so I tend to stick with them.....

It's just a matter of choice, many suppliers of flaps will be refered to on here for similar reasons as my own.

I set mine to low, maybe a little to low..however it doesn't bother me if they catch the floor.

I'm from the old School rally kit & bling ain't my aim, the look I try to achieve is discreet but usefull.

When I fitted the flaps in the photo's, my intention was to avoid pretty & look equal but meaning full if you know what I mean.

On any competition car is stuff like that fitted to look nice, no they are fitted for the purpose, and that is the image I want with my Scoob as I have done with Escorts i've owned in the past.

No drilling required with mine, (Mudban ones, the cheap version from Scott Lowe).

Flaps are as necessary as four wheels on an Impreza as far as i'm concerned

yeah got the mudban ones and they don't require driling but didn't look right, so splashed out on scott lowe ones and they did need drilling same as the scooyworld ones i had on my wrx, just make sure you get ones with stainless steel brackets though because some come with plastic ones
