Question Mud flaps

As above, I'm thinking about getting some for the rally-slag look, (even tho my cars silver with anthracite wheels), but unsure whether to and what colour. Got two sets of red sparco ones lying about the house, and to be honest I can't be arsed to trim them to fit, but theres some on ebay that are tailoured.

What do you reckon, should i do it and if so what colour, red or blue.

I would insert a link to show the item but i don't know how.

Thanks in advance,


Michael.

I'd say black, but that's not an option you've listed...

I had to cut mine out, what a b@stard !! Cut through one of my fingers in the process and bled all over the templates and had to re-print them out !!

Michael,

If you want to do a "Quote" at the bottom right hand corner of the post you want to quote you will see a button marked "reply" if you click that it automatically sets the quote up for you !!

LOL, was painful with the fingers, finding the corner of my finger I had cut off was a bit of a pain !! luckily wasn't my drinking hand so all was well, but worth it in the end once they were done !!

Just fitted them, just a little bit low. Ooops.






They don't catch when i reverse so i guess thats the main thing.

I'm chuffed with the result, make the car look lower.

Mine make a noise when they scrape the ground during spirited cornering; scared me at first as I thought it was my new springs!


I like the low flap look though...

Came with all the fixings required, push clips things and self tappers. Pre cut so no cutting required. Removed the push clip things from the wing, look like plastic + screws, but they aint. offered the flap up and marked where i needed to drill it for the new push clips. Put them on with the clips and secured nicely with the self tappers.






Only took and hour and a half or so to do and i think they look the business. Obviously had to take my wheels off to fit em.

Hope that helps.


Michael.
