Much better than 160 squid, and they are more flexible, so you don't rip them off ever time you go over a bump!

i got some, red with wrx impreza written on them. good quality especially for price. bit flimsy, bendy material but are tough. cant go wrong with them in my opinion.
just see how they last.

Nice Scoob Chris

Mines a white classic with matt black five spokes, still in original condition & mint like yours..

I think red flaps really set them off against a white body

Just search on e-bay for subaru impreza, then you will find the guy.

the flaps have something like a day to go before the end of auction, look for performance creations

Cookstar is right, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to fit them!

I'll second that. I got a few pics off Chris just to help when I fitted mine. Look the dogs for the price.

Thumbs up

The material is cheap crap compared to kaylan but if cut out properly using an the real sti template with the corect holes and making some brackets they could look good.

I bought a set for £15 quid from some car mod shop in stirling or try demon tweeks but made a right **** cutting them out, the rears were like ski slopes when i fitted.

Gave up and fitted the ones from the group buy, im sure someone has the templates on file that could be emailed, mine came printed out on A4 sheets.

Don't pay more than £20 for the material.

Cheers

Gordon.

It may be cheap crap, but it does its job, and looks good. I suppose I could have bought the expensive crap instead!

I bought some and they are just a cut up sheet of PVC which costs £4.80 from any plastic supplier. Graphics are about £7 for four stickers. U have been warned!!!

So would a Kellogs cornflake packet sellotaped to each wheelarch!! My point is the fella selling these is making over £30 a set profit and ripping us off. The logos are not even set out properly and they are basically cheap ****e. U seem to be pretty keen on pushing these anyway. What exactly is your interest here?? Are u a director of Performance Creations or summat!!

No m8, not at all. How much profit do you think the offical sti mud flaps pull in, and all of the 160 pound sets aswell?
At the end of the day, they work, the lettering is also spot on, they're 4 mm's thick, and they took me around 2 hours to fit (without brackets). I'd rather be ripped off for 30 squid than pay an extra 120 pounds for something that does the same job.
If it is so easy to do, why don't you start selling them????

Why do people get so heated with simple questions & other peoples views, madness over a set of affordable flaps.

Read the guy's feedback, it says it all. Plus there are many Scoob owners from these very pages amongst his positive feedback.
