Just so i know where to get them in march, where can you get them either red/blue prefureably sparko ones to go with the seats and that? not botherd on price just want them to work?

[Leighton]

Most places sell the universal sparco flaps. Try rallynuts or even ebay have the odd pair on there from time to time

[quickmotor]

you can also get them from your local Halfords

[nebbz]

dought ide get them out of my local! haha its so small!!

also save making another thread!

what oil is best for the frp?? asked my other half whos quite reliable on that kinda thing but on this occasion aint loL!???

[nebbz]

Happy-Kat has RED mudflaps on her FRP

[nebbz]

[eldoodarino]

These are my personal preference... my own custom made ones in Imperial Blue....





I may make a a few more sets in the spring if iv'e got plenty of time on my hands...

personally the blue Sparco ones (not Chris's above) are a very poor washed out blue that look mediocre on the FRP.

[eldoodarino]

i agree... they look pants!

are cannon bodygaurds still available.... they're certinly the best 'off the shelve' flaps for FRP.... they don't cover the full width of 215's all that well but they're pretty good for the money..

[nebbz]

hmm if they look pants i dont want them! i just want some that look ok but do a rely good job at what they do, price is no issue to me u pay for what you get most of the time with cars!

[eldoodarino]

ok, if price is no issue ... i still have one spare set in the garage you can have for £200.... Bargain!...

sold!

The sparco mud flaps are rubbish. I had them on when i first got my frp and anything above 40mph and they were up against the sills, so not really doing there job. Plus the blue you get them in doesnt suit the frps colour.

I have a spare set of cannon mud flaps in my garage that i dont need. There not quite rally style, but they fit the frps front arches perfectly, best to set them as low as you can, Vaspetrol has them fitted spot on.

I ended up buying a 1metre sheet of 5mm thick mud flap material in black from prodrive, its what they use on the wrc's. It cost me a whopping £200 but it was proper stuff!
That was brilliant, hardly moved about even at high speed, and so was constantly protecting that precious rear quarter paint. I still have enough to make 4 big mud flaps if anyone is interested

£200... bloody hell.... was only joking lol....

my custom ones are actually 2 set s of flaps moulded together with epoxy.... before priming/ painting etc... so they are pretty sturdy.... they would buckle if forced on a speed bump/ kerb etc.. but ok when driving around...

[happy-kat]

Rally supplies in Barry do a square of that materinal in a variety of colours (red, blue, black, yellow etc.) 5mm thick for £7.50 a sheet (1 sheet would make 1 mud flap) back in 2004 at Castle Combe Rally Day.

[nebbz]

how do you fit them then can you do it your self or is it advisable to get it done professionally? im thinking black or white

[happy-kat]

some have drilled the arch
DIY is possible just got to get fixings that work and do not mean you need to drill the arch.

Your custom flaps look good, i bet they take a while to do as well dont they?

The material i got of prodrive is like rubber, it meant for gravel spec rally cars so as can imagine its pretty heavy duty. They get it made by a company called KAYLAN i think it is. Bassically there bloody expensive mud flaps lol

[V4FRP]

Eldood I like your flaps they look great SO how do you paint them and prevent the Imp Blue paint cracking I presume the original material is a rubber type??
