Fixing Mud Flaps to Chassis??
Hello there,
Just received a set of mud flaps for my MY99 turbo, and had a go at fitting them. The rear ones went on fine - used the black 'plugs' to hold it to the wheel arch, then there was a very conveniently-placed drilled hole for me to bend the flap towards and fix with a self-tapper.
My problem came when I tried fitting the front flaps, as there seems to be an absence of a pre-drilled hole to put the self-tapper through?
Is there something i'm missing, or will I have to get the drill out? if so, where would be the best place to put the hole?
Cheers.

Lol self tapper wouldn't need to tap if there was a pre-drilled hole
Joke !
Get the bracket in place and mark a hole for the tapper ensuring the mud flap is in its straightest position. Best thing to do is make a small pilot hole, blob of waxoyl and screw in.
