Mud flaps or not

[12ORY]

Any opinions on fitted mud flaps for my 52 plate 1.2 16v? I have the full renault bodykit and painted bumpers so can only put the back ones on and they aint painted so dont know if they look daft? Opinions please!

hate mud flaps with a passion. theres a white micra going round with these like flexible red ones that swing back as he accelerates, looks ridiculous. useful i suppose i the winter but wouldnt have them on in summer.

Kennedy Id like to see your car as Ive never seen the Reno kit before.

I have the mudflaps on my Dynamique, they look fine and subtle and they do help in preventing dirt on the car, but it depends on what the body kit looks like really!

 

[Daz]

I was thinking about it (to protect my sideskirts).

Seen some pics - wasnt impressed.

I hated Mud Flaps to start with.. never liked them but thought I might put some on if they looked "ok".

Dont like them myself, still.

Ive got them on mine helps reduce all the stones and dirt getting thrown against the side of the car.

I think there quite good and should stand out with a body kit

There not a very good design though as mud collects in the rear one terrribly.

Dont do it!

It starts with the mud flaps and before you know it youll have a beaded seat cover and driving gloves

LOL

the renault ones aint that big,

i got em on my dynamique, and it stops big sh*t flying up the side of the car from the wheels, im always about in the rain on the motorway.

The spray outta these clios is ammense in the rain, and it has reduced a lot after puttign them on.

Dont look brilliant, but i use em more for its practical use, not styling, may remove them once car is lowered tho.

Yer get us pics of that renault body kit!!

Daz the Mk1 flaps were the beefy buggers werent they? Mk2 ones are much smaller and fall in line with the body shape.

Body kit pics!!!

 

[Daz]

Has, yours look nice tho.. mainly because a) I didnt notice them b) they are stopping crap flying up!

The ones for the Mk1s stick out like the front bumper, haha.

 

[Lunner]

No, my alloys rubbed, so off they went.

Just sold em to night.icon *grins*

 

[clio__chris]

[Tom1600]

Hmm, you can just about make out the front and rear flaps on these pics...(damn, took these a while back what a nice day!)

cool guess u can only get them from renault? how expensive are they likely to be? and how do they fit?

 

[Tom1600]

I think theyll probably be 50 quid from Reno. Up to you if its worth it, but its pricey! I got them thrown in when I bought the car. They fit with one screw I think, but Id have to check.

mud flaps??...nah

 

[clio__chris]

well i dont want the back ones....... just the front ones to protect the sides and help try and keep it clean

 

[Tom1600]

JAY172 might be able to tell you the price/part# if he sees this topic.

 

[clio__chris]

yeh ive just emailed my local dealer anyway as im after some touch up paint as well.....

 

[Martin]

Look ok on a Evo or even an Impreza, if in keeping with rally sl*g styling you can get away with it. Not on a standard or kitted car though imo.

 

[Has]

front ones use existing wheel arch push in clips, u get given new ones as u remove the old ones and they snap!

and 1 screw.

The rear ones, are held by 2 metal clips, and 1 pop in clip which also snaps

hence u get new ones in the box.

im not sure how much they were, but i got em cheap.

clio__chris, ill sell u my front ones that are brand new. They are no use to me as they dont fit with the bodykit. Think they are about £30ish from Renault.

Will post pics up soon on bodykit!
