United-Kingdom Mud Flaps with a body kit

I have the aero body kit on my mini and no mud flaps.
I've been told that I can't get BMW mud flaps to fit because of the body kit.

Is this true???

With the damp, salty roads the back of the mini is getting filthy after only a few hundred metres.

Anyone know if I can get mud flaps to fit my mini?

That will happen with mudflaps fitted - it will just take another couple of hundred metres.

Hi There,
I had the same problem with my aerodynamic body kit, which was already factory fitted when i bought it new in, Nov 2010. So I hope this helps you, What I did was, I took it to a mini dealer & asked the same question, They told me, Like you because of the body kit fitted it would'nt take to any of the new mini mud-flaps, But, They persivered & found, The mud-flaps from the earlier body shape mini fitted like a glove on the rear wheel arches(they still had new ones in stock for the old body shape), So I had these fitted & there great!!, Hope this helps you in your search, But I will ad, One of the replies you had are right, The backend still gets mucked up after a while, But they look good!! PS. Could'nt find any mud-flaps that would fit the front wheel arches though,Because of the bodykit. Cheers for now & let us know how you get on?.

Excellent!

Thanks for the advice. Don't suppose you know the part number do you?

If not I'll get myself to Mini and ask.

I'd go "nude" to be honest. I don't think the mini needs mudflaps....
