Mudflaps Fitted

This afternoon I set about fitting the front and rear mudflaps that I ordered from Powerful uk. They fit well, and they might even help the car clean!

Here are a few pictures;

The fronts took 2 hours! Bit of a pain in the Censored The rears were easy though, and the time spent was certainly worth it! Thumbs Up

Just looking at the photo of the back ones Chris, and they look a bit low mate are you sure there up as high as you can get em.... just checked mine to see if they was the same seeing as we got them from the same place
Think your ones might need lifting a bit Chris Question

Here is a photo of mine to show where mine sit - as you see they sit right on the line of the back bumper

Hi,

Look every bit as smart as my (very expensive;-) OEM ones, and certainly enhance the look I think.......Just don't expect them to actually do their job.....they don't!.......We call ours Mud Traps (You'll see!)

Great job though, well done Kola is the big solid black German Shepherd, Dobbie is.......a breed you've never heard of......yet;)

Looks really nice Chris. I was wondering if you had received your kit yet just after I spent the best part of this morning cleaning the car only to get the doors and sills dirty again down the lanes on the way to my daughters nursery. Oh well, I'll have something to look forward to for Saturday morning... Kit ordered.

Thanks guys. Smile

Slaneydore, the look fine on my car. I thought they looked a bit low, but there are no gaps. Confused

I've had another look, and they fit properly, but I think the rubber that comes up the side has been cut short. Maybe it's because it a different batch?

Fitted a set on Sunday. I used a pair of secateurs to snip either side of the inner arch cut outs and wiggled the cut out section backwards and forwards until the bit fell out, a lot easier and safer than the craft knife method shown in the video. As for the cut out under the sill, I just marked through the bracket and drilled a hole where the fixing screw needs to protrude. Very satisfied with the result.

I'm pleased with them, especially as they are half the price of genuine ones and they look the same!

Offered my rear mud flaps up this morning and they appear to sit like Chrisr1806's rather than following the line of Slaneydore's.

Not sure I will fit them now as although to most people it will not notice, I will know and it will annoy me.

To be honest, it doesn't really bother me, and I'm a bit OCD! Why don't you fit one, and see if you like the look of it?

I contacted Powerful UK about my set of rear mudflaps as when offered up they sit like Chrisr1806's and not following the line between lower bumper and upper body panel like Slaneydore's or in their video fitting guide.

Received the following email:

I have spoken to our technical team and it appears that they have changed the design. This is due to water pooling - the new design does not allow the water to pool in the moulding. I have checked our stocks and we only have the new version available.
