how do the mud flaps hold up over time?
Durable or not?
I'm thinking of getting some as the paint is flaking a good'un on the front wheel arches.....
 
just ordered them front n rear set from poland from from a wellknown auction site, hope they do the job.
 
dolbovert can you post scans of the pics they sent you or how you've fitted your mud flaps please?

I bought two sets from Peugeot as for the Bipper. Annoyingly, despite the fact they're specifically for that vehicle, you have to use a paper template to drill holes in the metal bracing and then decide where to put them on the car. The template is only for one so you have to flip the paper over and be clever to mark the drilling holes for the other side.
The front ones were easier (and you need a pop riveter gun as the branded ones are supplied with the rivets) though I still had to drill the plastic spray shield and holding that to the flap whilst drawing the rivet in is fun.. When fitting the rear ones I was pleased I could stand a way back behind the car to line them up to get the bottom edge square to the floor as using the template puts them pointing in like a pigeon-toed person.

When you drill, perhaps do the top hole first, put in a mandrel to locate the flap then look at it (front and rear) from a different angle to make sure they stick in/out the right amount. I do have a set of the Polish ones (I think that's where they were from) but since they are generic to 'a car' you have to do some faffing with cutting and shaping so I got ones (allegedly) made for the car. If anyone fancies these then just PM me and make an offer! You can have them cheap plus p+p. ;)

Hello. Yes I'm still alive!

I'll apologise for not responding earlier, but I've had no occasion to read this thread until today- I found myself with a bit of spare time this morning,so trawled around the site a little, and saw this.

While I'm happy to help, and apologise for the delay in doing so, I'm surprised that I wasn't just pm'd to draw my attention to the request!?

My mudflaps came from Poland- a company/guy called Globmel- via the well known auction site.As I said in an earlier mail, he had mailed me instructions at my request,as none were supplied

Whilst it's probably too late to help earlier enquirers, who've probably done a better install than me in the interim, I've taken pics of my flaps to post up, to help any future enquirers

I used the supplied clips on my front arches, on the trailing edge, and added an extra self-tapper deeper into the arch, thru the flap into the arch liner. On the rears, I did likewise further in the arch, and used two screws into the front edge of the bumper moulding, and a further one underneath thru the rear bumper lower apron.

The first 6 pics are of my Qubo with the flaps, now 2 years old, and stil firmly attached and looking good. The remaining 12 later images are those from Globmel.
