Default Mud flap fixing
When attaching front mud flaps on a Newage and you need to drill in to the arch at the back of the wheel is there anything I need to avoid or is it solid?
Thanks

Best bet would be to avoid fitting them altogether

Agreed, drilling holes will only encourage rust. Lets be honest impreza's don't need any help in rusting!

All done cheers just drilled two little holes and screwed the self tappers in.

Nice and easy looks good, put some Hammerite over where I drilled
