    Dealers say no due to bodykit but can this be true?

    Flaps may be adapted, perhaps but what is th e cost of Ralliart flpas x4?

    And then you cut them, maybe, and they do not fit/look right?

    I bought cheap flaps frpm a local motor factors and they fit OK but hard plastic and they grounded at Ring on a few fast bits of lap, then split and broke up

    Had old floor mats for a prev car, cut them to shape using spare set of 'hard flaps' but longer so better mudflaps and flexible and work a treat

    No

    No digital pictures nor a scanner for the pictures that I do have

    I'm still with 35mm film and printed pictures

    And I would be lost how to send pictures to the site or attach to messages

    Will work on that ASAP

    Hell for a bit less than that I will do all the work for you - buy the rubber mats, cut to fit and send on to you

    mmm... i have installed myself some ralliart mudflaps INSERT INTO post VALUES (oem of course! ) some pictures HERE!

    the materials are quite flexible and they come in red, blue, yellow, white and black INSERT INTO post VALUES (like mine). advantages: cheap! easy to install and replace! disadvantages: no brackets so they tend to curve slightly inwards along the housing, not suitable for super low-profiled rides!

    They look really good. :cool1:

    I'm also now in the process of making my own. Could you send me some pictures INSERT INTO post VALUES (front and rear) of how you've actually attached them to your car?

    Cheers

    pictures are coming soon!

    i am driving a 100% jdm legnum, hope we all share the same INSERT INTO post VALUES (or similar) spec -> there are two screws fixing the side skirts and underspoiler to the body. take some measurements on the mudflaps, mark the positions you like, drill two holes, unscrew the two screws and re-screw the flaps up. THAT'S IT!

    actually 3 screws are better than 2. but with 3 you need a "L"-shaped bracket...

    An L shaped bracket??? Surely you mean a U shaped bracket. Could you please confirm this and where would you put the L shaped bracket?

    I have exactly the same car as you but in Trigger Mauve
