one thing to bear in mind-
I bought the TSL flaps (which look identical to the ScottLowe ones- doh) and they were fitted to my car (which has eibachs) and on the lowest fixing the flaps DO catch the ground quite a lot under braking and hard cornering..
I have already worn off the TSL wording partially on the fronts
BUT the sides off the car are so much cleaner and the flaps catch nearly all the cr@p off the road..

Should be fitting mine tomorrow. My daughter is ill and her Creche won't take her for 48 hours so I've got to take the day off tomorrow to look after her. Hopefully I can find someone to look after her for a couple of hours while I fit them - shouldn't take more than half hour a corner.
Cashy - Just in case I don't get on here tomorrow, happy B'Day mate for tomorrow.

Fittted my flaps today
Started at 1.45pm and finished RH front by about 3pm! fitted the remaining 3 by 4pm. Main reason for No1 taking so long was due to a 10 minute panic that the previous owner had lost the wheelnut lock key to undo locknut thingy. On my MY00 the lower front OE pin that holds the wheel arch inner is a push fit so opened the door and pushed it out with a long screwdriver - this took a while to work out and I didn't want to force anything.
ould find no other way to keep supplied "plastic shrouded" nuts to stay where they were on wheel arch without tape A "must have" for this job IMHO.
With No1 done, knowing how to remove everything and how to keep the nuts from falling into the side skirt, No2 took about 20 minutes from start to finish. Wasn't too sure what I should be Waxoyl'ing so used some under body paint I had spare to cover holes drilled and a bit on the screws to prevent corrosion. All other bolts got a bit of copper grease for some protection.
Rears were straight forward. Bolted the small bracket in place first then offered up the flap and large bracket. Bolted those together and with the bracket in place carefully drilled out the top most hole.
Have to say it looks really good and I'm soo glad I've got some decent protection for those vunerable (SP) areas.
If anyone needs any help, I'm happy to help if I can.

Fitted mine on Saturday.
Looks fantastic! Get yourself some Waxoyl and you can use it to patch up the underseal that has flaked off as well!
Also, when fitting the 2 plastic brackets on the front flaps, in behind the plastic liner, use a bit of tape at the side of the bracket, to stop it from sliding off into the cavity between the liner and the sill.
