Mudflaps?

Post by AndrewT »

How do people feel about minors with mudflaps like what all the top parts suppliers sell?
Personally been thinking about getting a set for my series 2 as I think they finish the old fashioned car look off nicely and also reduce spray over the back of the car abit if I get caught in the wet

Any photos of members with them fitted?

Make sure you don't damage the body when fitting them - or create a mud trap under the wing......

Here are a few pictures of some mudflaps on my car before I removed them. I hope they are of some use.

Mudflap's are a superb investment and do protect the car if fitted well... I have recently fitted some on a van and made these and used Iain Mackenzies mouting brackets... if a saloon you will have to make some brackets

Here is a quick photo of the ones on a van

Brilliant thanks guys! Was thinking about fiberglassing a bracket from the wing to the inner wing so if I ever needed to remove it I can jus use a little Dremel if I ever needed to remove the bracket?

I would think fiberglassing would be very likely to create a rust trap. You're probably better off with a bolt-on steel bracket of some kind.

These were held on as stated in the picture, the Mudflap itself was then bolted to the bracket. I have no idea weather this is a good way of mounting mudflaps or not but it was how they were on my car before I took them off.

What made you take them off (or is it just temporary)?

Mainly due to the wings not being in the best of condition and needing to come off and they would not come off until the mudflaps had been removed.
