renault mudflaps

[lawrence]

do they actually do them for the clio, would they fit the 172 mk2? i wanna get some but am not keen on sparco ones to big and in your face

 

[m4rk]

mud flaps look sh*t imo unless your going the whole hog and rally sl*ging ur car

 

[lawrence]

nah not keen on rally sl*g unless its a proper rallyish car ie escort cossie, im sure ive seen em in renault romford, but dont no if they would fit 172, would look better as contrast coz they are black so would match the door mirror surrounds

 

[Liam]

dont think they do them for the RS models.

 

[Big Iain]

look on ebay mate there are some I was gonna buy for my 172

 

[lawrence]

hhhmmm thats what i thought coz of the arches and skirts, its bloody annoying when it rains all the road grime kicks up on to the side and underside of the car. am looking now iain mate

Shame its got no mudflaps on it though

 

[lawrence]

ok ok you got me there^^^ but its a small hatcback and isnt seen as a rally sl*g of a car, just checked em out iain on ebay theyre not genuine are they? uni-fit

 

[Liam]

still get mucky wi flaps though, so still as much cleaning at end of day. you will just end up cleaning the flaps instead.

I have made standard clio mudflaps fit. They are quite small and dont hamper the look of the car at all. I got them because my 1st Cup (after 18k) was starting to pick up tiny tiny chips on the back arches.

You have to do a wee bit of cutting of the mudflaps to get them on, but worth it. I have also got Reno scenic back arch protectors, the ones that are like helicopter tape and protect from stone chips. See through, and unless you look hard, then you wont see it.

 

[Liam]

on the back arches? there aint no paint to chip apart from the 1" thick part of the bumper you can see, is this what you mean?

 

[edde]

Id recoment getting them.

Ive got them on my car and seeing the stones etc they collect its worrying to think what Id do without them. The sides of my car would be scratched like mad even if they do take ages to clean out its better than having the sides of the car scratched.

 

[clio__chris]

how much r they from renault then?

 

[GTATTY182]

Renault ones dont fit 182.

I ordered renault protection pack which includes mudflaps but they couldnt get them to fit my 182.

Muppets tried 1 hour to fit with no joy, still waiting for reimbursement of costs!

Fir the none 172/182 there somehting like £40 Im sure you could get cheaper ones though. I got mine fitted when I bought the car.

No, I mean if you look at the car side on, the wee bit of arch before you get to the wheel that is slightly flared. This is where stones will hit, kicked up from the front wheels. It like clear plastic tape that I have got. The Focus RS and the Racing Puma have them, as well as tons of other cars.

The standard clio mudflaps will NOT fit directly on to a 172/182 etc, but you CAN make them like I did.

 

[Liam]

good idea Mac then.

But you will be able to see them arch protectors wont you, and when you remove them it you wills ee the outline will you not?

have you got a pic of them on your car?

 

[MAC30L]

if anyone can host a a couple of pics of my car, I will e-mail them now.....

 

[tooga]

Would like to see your pics to see how you did it

 

[Alex_225]

I reckon mud flaps on the back would look a bit pants only because they would spoil the lines of the rear bumper.

Was considering some for the front. Also the trouble with putting 205/40/17s is that the extra width makes them more inclined to throw sh*t up the sides of the car!! lol

p.s Mac, you gopt some of that anti flash spray on ya plates?

 

[lawrence]

see i think they look ok and agree with edde here on the stone chips and collection of it, defo getting some now, what do you reckon theyd look like colour coded, i can do it myself so it aint a problem there

 

[MAC30L]

Cheers for posting the pics mate.

That was my 1st Cup, got rid of it about a year ago. Thats the K-tec racing system that I have on it there, got a magnex on the Cup I have now.

The mudflaps are not for looks, but simply to try and stop sh1t deflecting up the side of the car. They dont look too bad IMO.

Liam, you really need to zoom in on the back arches to see them mate, oh and polish does the same thing to your number plates by the way

 

[clio_lass]

I have a post about these in wanted. Lost one the other night, the only ones that look good on clios are the ones on that cup in the pics. £60 fitted from Reno for a pair, or £25 not fitted. RIP OFF!

 

[tooga]

I saw a clio cup with mud flaps but they where the universal ones you get from renault has anyone tried them
