Mud Flaps

[sh33n]

Post up pics of your clio with mud flaps, this weather is just getting on my nerves, figure some mud flaps might work to keep some of the crap off my car.

Also let me know where you got them from, which ones and what size?

Im after something quite subtle I reckon, not too rally sl*g.

Cheers.

theres a guy on ebay sells the genuine renault ones for £30 front and £30 back if you fancy a set of them.

I bought some renault at wigan, and they did not fit so i took them back and they said they don,t do them for the 182 because the arches are wider.

i fitted front and rears flaps from renault, just need to cut them about a bit, they do fit and with patience and time they look good on the front, ok on the rear

They look really good on Rufstufs but it depends on the car.

 

[sh33n]

Yer I think they work so well due to the white turnis.

Which I am a fan off, but I dont think the mud flaps would work the same on normal colour turnis.

Just how I would have it mate. looks great. what flaps are they?

 

[Darren S]

Come on Ruf - me and Iain are waiting for an answer?!

[Rufstuf]

Yes they are just the normal Sparco mudflaps. Cost about a tenner. But the secret to making them look ok is to trim off plenty and dont let them hang down too far. Both my fronts and backs were made from one set! (and dont stick the chavvy sparco stickers on them)

 

[Ali]

I was looking on ebay for the official Renault subtle mudflaps and could only see cheap ones like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-MUDFLAPS-clio-megane-laguna-scenic-coupe-kangoo_W0QQitemZ4569271431QQcategoryZ10410QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-MUDFLAPS-clio-megane-laguna-scenic-coupe-kangoo_W0QQitemZ4569271431QQcategoryZ10410QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

The official ones look ok imo but £30 is more than I wanted to pay

I bet they dont do em in black - Sparco Blue would look sheeeeeiit on a black gold car. Were the set you got a "one-size fits all" that you trimmed to fit the Clio? How did you mount the flaps onto the bodywork - via scrws & bolts or clips?

[Zonda]

You need mud flaps on the front when rallying to protect the side of the car from getting blasted and stripped off with sharp edged stones.. but why the feck do u need them on the back?



BTW... the flaps on Rufs look great! Well trimmed there (cant beat well trimmed flaps!)

 

[Simf40]

weve had a 172 cup come into our garage recently and he had metal silver ones on his blue cup it did look really good,

just wondering is it easy to make some mud flaps out of a sheet of aluminium?

I think they only do them in blue, white or red. They are a one size fit all. They are massive and you just trim them to fit the contours of your arches. I personally used the original screws that hold on the arch liners, except in the front where I had to use one self-tapper on each side.
