Mud Flaps

[wreelybro]

HI,
I'm Thinking of putting on some Sparco Style Rally Mud Flaps (The Red Ones) on my Chilli Red MC What do you think?

I'm getting tired of having a filthy Mini - every time it rains its gets mucky in 2 seconds flat!!


Has anyone put these on their Mini? If so I wouldn't mind seeing some pics...

Do not think that they will go ??????????????????????

Got the standard MINI black ones on my CR MC. Look good. Work good.

OEM all the way if you need to.

This has been discussed on here in the past and general opinion is that the mudflaps make no difference to the amount of muck flicked up onto the car..especailly the back end. ..hth

Have to agree, mudflaps don't stop u getting completely plastered, just keep topping up the washer fluid...!!!

Thanks Everyone.

If only I could find a BIGGER washer bottle!!

Sorry but mud flaps make a huge difference.

If you drive fast on wet country roads with lots of muddy about, the water flicks up and is sucked onto the back of the car as it punches through the air.

Without the flaps the rear would get so bad that after a week or so the number plate was unreadable. With the flaps this never happened even after a couple of months.

shazam, which mud flaps are you using?

Some nasty universal ones by cannon, £8 from halfords.

Got them after reading a thread on here.

I fitted these to the front & back - they definitely cut down the dirt being sucked up onto the rear window. I mostly drive on motorways and the odd blast down some muddy/wet 'b' roads - a marked improvement over running without flaps

Good Luck

Yeap, by just looking at the picture I can see no sign of dirt on the back of your car

Hi Dark Silver Bullet, I have just had the front and back mud flaps put on my Mini by Vines at Redhill, but I`m not sure if they have put them on right. I thought the Back ones replaced a part of the rear wheel trim, but these have been attached to the old trim which makes them stick out. Is this correct ? Would love to hear back.

Hi just read ur Q. I had untill recently the rear mudflaps, they do sort of stick out at the side a bit, but they don't replace any part to the rear trim, just fit over the top of the plastic wheel arch trim.

Here's a pic of mine if u can just about see.. or check my gallery.
