Rear Mudflaps Installed...

Well, I just finished installing the rear mudflaps. To say they were easy would be an understatement. So easy, you get concerned they won't stay on because they are so simply attached.

Now, the fronts are a little bit more involved. Looks like I need a drill and a box cutting knife. Think I'll re-read the instructions a couple of times before I decide to do them or have a service department do it. Smile

I'll post some photos later tonight or tomorrow morning. Customisation: LED (CW) Internal Lighting, Re-badged Steering Wheel (black/silver badge), Wheel Caps (black/silver badge), Black Magic Tint, Santorini Black handles

Accessories: LR Chronograph, LR Golf Umbrella, LR Pen, LR Key Chain, LR Hat (blue), Rubber Boot Protector Mat, Side Steps, Mud Flaps, Body Side Mouldings

Make sure you understand what you are going to do and walk through it before doing it, just to make sure you haven't missed something. The rear ones are extremely easy, about a minutes work. The fronts do look much more complicated, but they aren't in the end. Just double check everything you do on the first one and you should be right. Customisation: LED (CW) Internal Lighting, Re-badged Steering Wheel (black/silver badge), Wheel Caps (black/silver badge), Black Magic Tint, Santorini Black handles

Brillant in good weather. Laughing

All I can tell you is that I noticed the difference between having them on and not. They do look good also, in my opinion ...and everyone who has seen my FL2. Customisation: LED (CW) Internal Lighting, Re-badged Steering Wheel (black/silver badge), Wheel Caps (black/silver badge), Black Magic Tint, Santorini Black handles

Are the backs still only held on by two screws? I ripped one off in deep sand so replaced the screws with small stainless bolts as the flaps themselves are quite flexible.

Each of my rear flaps came with two screws (one longer to replace an existing screw) and a steel clip thing that holds one edge of the flap to the plastic wheel liner.

I've had mud flaps since day one. I think they finish the car off. Gone - TD4 XS Auto, Sumatra Black, Mud flaps and side strips, clear indicators, private plate, privacy glass
