Well, I spent the last 1/2 a day fitting the mud flaps ! first two and half hours feet up with a cup of tea reading the instructions and pondering why the instructions were incomprehensible and were they produced by a human or a monkey with an Etch -a -Sketch |

I was thinking exactly the same while trying to figure out the instructions / hieroglyphics - why do they make them so complicated? ![]() In the end I decided to use a pair of tin snips and cut the trim with the bracket in situ - it worked for me and everything fitted nice and flush with the bodywork so not a bad job.

I bought some non genuine flaps for the RRS, good quality (rimmer bros), anyway one fell off at high speed on the A1, a big bang then saw it in the mirror heading skywards |

Due to an RRS owner now strongly attaching his mudflaps to his RRS, Regular users of the A1, please be on the lookout for a pair of Mudflaps, attached to a RRS rear bumper |

FWIW I just had my OE rear mudflaps replaced under warranty. Although securely fixed they didn't follow the wheel arch contour correctly - a 5-10 mm gap had appeared in the middle bit over the course of the first year. The garage replaced them as they reckoned they were non-adjustable. Said they had seen that sort of thing happen before. Brian

the genuine part fits marginally better then the fake one, neither are a great fit, but at same time neither are terrible either At work |

I fitted a set of OEM mudflaps. The rear ones were very easy to fit, but the front ones are the work of the devil. Once I had deciphered the overly complicated cartoon instructions and farted about with the left hand one for a while, I eventually worked it out, so the right hand one was a relative doddle. The fixings that came with them were a joke. Thank goodness for my little jar of odds and ends in the garage!

did you just clean the arches for the photos or is your car always so clean? At work |

Only got the car a couple of weeks ago and came in a relatively clean condition. However, I have a bit of a thing about clean cars, so gave it a good scrub, polish, wax and detail last week. Looks like a new pin.

After only a few miles, the top retaining lugs on both rear mud flaps have sheared off.
