the eBay items, well, i got 4 bits of rubber, good quality rubber, but didn't fill me with confidence on the fixing side, worst £50 i ever spent.
Also did i mention i've got some great Mud flaps for sale, i'd take £20 for them + cost of postage.

Well said. Why pay £200 or more when some thieving little pikey could quite easily have them away.

Me too Mickywrx, did you just use the screws for fitting them or get some brackets made?

Got mine to do this weekend

These £40 mudflaps from Performance Creations are excellent, just fitted a set to my RA, well pleased.

Top price, good quality & a pleasure to do business with....

Used the push clippie things and screws to help secure. A little drilling involved.

I'm well chuffed with them, and no complaints about the supplier.

Just the actual mud flap. And then some little guide holes for the self tappers if you use them.

Don't get me wrong the Mud Flaps are real good quality Rubber, but reading the insturctions, they didn't feel me with confidence, i like yourself was worried if they looked crap would i be left with unsightly holes.
So being a bit of a ***** i paid the extra for the Scott Lowe one's [they brought the genuine one's and used them as templates] they come with the right brackets, holes etc.
The other thing i wasn't happy with the £40 Mud flaps was the fitting in side the wing, it seemed that you had wrap it aroud the inside of the wheel arch, with the Scott Lowe one's the Brackets keep them riggid and add strength.

But at the end of the day it's all about opinion, if your happy with them then good luck to you, i wasn't, my preference
