Rear mudflaps

Any one fitted these, rather than the oem 'moulded' style mudflaps?



These are on the Parrock site, £42:84 a pair

Saw a link to these somewhere, and they're supposedly suitable for Freelanders, hence my asking

I think you have been misinformed. Can’t see how they could possibly fit a Freelander 2

I think you would need a sharp pair of scissors, a hole punch, and a cardboard template to fit those. The resulting flap may end up a little small. FL2 Metropolis, Loire Blue, ebony/ivory

They are a popular choice on the D3/4, very effective over the standard ones, never seen them done on a Fl2 though. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

I thought so too, as the top edge is straight, rather than moulded, but like I say I'd see a link somewhere . . . . Embarassed
Looks like I'll have to go with the oem ones

IIRC You can get copies of the proper OEM mudflaps which are a lot cheaper and just as good. Rears are easy to fit . Fronts are more complicated as they need an additional metal bracket to support them.

As a side point, from my experience, mudflaps are generally installed badly by dealers - with little consideration given to accuracy of position or corrosion protection. I changed all the metal screws, washers and clips to stainless where possible. Jules

Hi most of the non genuine front flaps don't seem to supply the metal bracket.?
