Hi,
My 2nd post, im getting use to this site!
As we all know, FRP is prone to stonechips, alot!
Apart from armourfend, is there anyone or anywhere i could find some mudflaps for my car?
I don't want the horrible looking sparco ones, just plain black that do not stand out but does its job in stopping stonechips?

Thanks!

you can buy from Halfords a universal pair made by Canon in a hardish black rubber that will fit on the FRP, less than a £10
or you could make your own black ones from the plastic used for Rally mudlfaps, with fixings probably come out at about £30

[eddie0826]

Excellent, will have a look at halfords this week!
How are they fitted, you don't need to drill holes, do you?

Eddie

The canon ones look really good and quite a few FRP owners have them fitted. No need to drill the wings they held on with metal clamps all very neat.


We got two sets stored at the minute

This forum is excellent, so glad i found this site!
I've been having much difficulty on solving bits of problems with my FRP, that hopefully will find answers to on here from now on!
Thanks again!

I've just been to 2 halfords and they didnt have the cannon mudflaps, could any post or send some photos of the package and a pi of them on a FRP so i can get an idea what they lok like on, please?

Thanks

Halfords did stop selling them for a while but apprently they have been restocking with them

[eddie0826]

Excellent, thanks happy-kat!
Hope to hear from you soon!

this is a close up of Vas's FRP showing stainless steel clamps on the Canon flaps, rather than the black not so nice ones that come in the pack


while try to find a better closeup

[happy-kat]

Vas's car again but you get the idea of them (showing original clips)

I found a few more of 0385

I managed to pick up a spare set from Halfords last week. £14.99 now but worth every penny. They only ever seem to stock one set at a time though so its just luck if you find any!!

[happy-kat]

crickey I paid £8.00 for mine in 2002
they are in the shed (rather toy box now) somewhere

Sparco ones can look really good when shaped well and colour coded to the car....

the generic 'off the shelf' blue ones don't suit the car very well at all....

they take serious time to make unfortunatly...

Are you making some more Chris?

[eldoodarino]

sshh

might be able to do a few over the summer....

[eddie0826]

the sparco one do look nice, i know this might sound stupid but how do they screw on coz the screws and spacers look like they need to be screwed into the arches?
do the cannon ones need any cutting ordo they edge on?

Thanks for all the replies guys!

Eddie

[eldoodarino]

no.. they slide onto the arch lip in exactly the same way as the Cannon bodygaurds do...

[V4FRP]

Cannon ones fit straight on with no drilling at all. I've a few spare sets in my bottom drawer as they seem readily available down here. If you PM me I'll sort out sending you a set.

[mikecat]

dont forget Chris, ive got first dibs on your sparco ones
