Mud Flaps Advice PLz

Hello all

I am thinking of getting some mud flaps for my GP and was wondering if anyone had any idea how you fit the off the shelf ones from halfords and if they need to be cut etc?

Also my car is black and thought i would ask you all what colour you think i should get in the mud flaps.

Thanks

I'd prefer the stone chips and i would also quite happily wash my car as often as needed so long as i didnt have to have them on my car.

They would look better if they were more black, in the photo they look too grey.

That should be titled 'Cheapest way to ruin a Grande, without using physical damage'

That car would be soooooo nice without them, the rest is spot on.
