For some reason I don't think they are interested in your car Annie

I know it's all in jest, but if any comment is a bit too far, please report it via the red triangle

Thanks for the photo Annie, I need to fit some rears to help keep the muck off the caravan front, I also believe it enhances the looks from the back as well. Not so sure if I really need the fronts
Difficult to see the green when the cars in the shade

A bit of green for you EYorkshire on the back pillar (or whatever it's called ). Strange colour, it's nearly black and then a bit of sun comes out and it's a lot lighter

Yep, see it now and a nice colour it is
LR's colours are a little strange, the metallic flakes in mine are invisible until in sunlight and in the shade it's a plain old grey.
That's a better shot of the mudflaps, I think I will just get the rears and the fronts can be added in future if I feel that something is missing.

Has anyone else had problems when fitting the front mudflaps or am i just being a stupid woman?

I've fitted the left one after faffing about removing the body part and drilling the 2 holes and snipping the corner bit off. I'm not confident it's going to stay on though and then i get to the right hand side, i couldnt get the screw to meet up with the bracket when trying to screw the mudflap on and then it starts raining grrrr.

Couldn't see what i was doing in my garage so have given up today. Car looks nice from one side

So frustrating

I wish i hadnt started the job and just asked a man to do it

I think i'll stick to ladies things

If you put Mud Flaps on they only hold more mud.. ,more mud= more weight, and they rip off on the first set of decent muddy ruts any way, just buy a jet washer with the money and wash it more often at least once a year wether it needs it of not .... Simples Wales
Were the mud is thicker, and the ruts are deeper.
(And we have the water to wash it off, and more on the way..! )
