Title: Mud flaps
Post by: Discoja on 27 February 2016, 19:39:38

Is there an original front and rear mud flaps, mine fit perfect but appear to be a hardened plastic.  Are they original  (pictures tomorrow?)

Not much us on the front, because with a spirited drive they graunch on the road, and eventually part company with the car.

You do get genuine moulded ones that are pretty rigid, think I have a set in the garage if you need them.

Having got two Omegas with mudflaps fitted from new /by the previous owner, I personally wouldn't fit them. As said, they are a hard plastic, and not flexible at all, and if you drive over certain speed humps, the front ones scrape on the road surface, and forces the mudflaps up against the sill covers. With them not being flexible, it obviously put pressure on the sill covers and wheelarch liners (depending where the screws are). They also have a tendency to rub the paint off the body - when I have removed them for what ever reason, the contact areas where the flap touches on the body has rubbed the paint off.
I personally wouldn't bother - however, the rears don't seem to be as problematic as the fronts and I suppose keep some dirt off the caravan, but apart from that, I'd avoid them. Just my thoughts /experiences.....
