Mud flaps

[waspy]

Word of warning... I have a set of Vx moulded mudflaps on my 2.6 and they a pain in the ar*e. Unless you are on a perfectly flat surface - e.g. motorway / dual carriageway etc. they will continually ground when you go over a bump. It doesnt do any damage (other than scrape another few mils of the bottom of the mudflap) but it is quite loud and can be very disconcerting... particularly for passengers.

i just fitted the front mud flaps today and found out the hard way that irish roads are not flat enough, drivers front one broke after 3 miles .

i havent fitted the rear ones and im going to take them back, nice look mind you but way to long and ur going to break them eventually.

the ones on the vectra only go around 1.5 inches under the car and still get scraped when the car bottoms out.

OOOer. I ordered mine yest & should be here tomo.
I'll have to see how they look, I don't wana be losing any.
Thanx for that

You shouldn't have any problems with the rear ones it's the fronts that scrape

I fitted them yesterday, but only the front. Gona leave back for a while, but there's a motive;- when it's wet you chuck loads of spray from the back & it usually keeps folk of ya a"$e
