I wasnt sure about the mud flaps at first but they do look good now they are on justshould have really had a chrome 500 on them and it would have finished them off.
an the a bar and bonnet strip i feel are a must add for all 500's

I think it suits the darker cars better thou...
Very, very nice!
Must get mudflaps soon
Jim
That looks excellent. Mud flaps making much difference?
OP
OP
The flaps do seem to be making a difference not using the back wash as much as i was doing now lol...
as for the price i got the parts at cost and then it was £160 to have them fitted (felt this was very expensive but what the hell i wanted them lol)
only problem with dealer fit is you have to leave the a bar for 48hrs to dry and 12hrs for the strip so i was without my beloved 500 for a whole 2 days felt lost without her lol...
It would probably have been cheaper to get them factory fitted but iwasnt sure i wanted them until i saw them in the flesh and when i did they were a must have.:slayer:

I think these cars are so emotive that cost considerations are an afterthought and quite rightly so

Great to see some more pics of your car... I am getting so used to seeing white ones (but of course i have one too!) - it makes a change!

just need to decide now if i want a fragrance dispenser or not oh and a boot tidy lol...
Oh and by the way i totaly recommend that ppl but the security kit for the 500 its well worth the £20 you get triangle, torch, reflective jacket and a set of bulbs

Like the mudflaps and the A bar... not sure about the bonnet strip yet. Car is looking good, the white stripe looks very good on the jive blue.
Damn, there goes me being the only jive blue with AS bar & bonnet strip.

Sorry lol...

Had to happen eventually Mark
Thanks for the piccies of the mudflaps!! How much are they and did the garage fit them? Think I'm going to have to get them.
Think your car looks great, love the new chrome bits but not sure they would look so good on the yellow. And I see another one with cherished plates seems like alot of us are getting them

I agree about the yellow, the chrome looks best (IMO) on the darker colour cars as it adds contrast. I doesn't show up all that well on light cars.
OP
OP
the flaps were about £28 straight from the dealer and i got the to fit them the same time as the chrome bits, i think they said if it was just the flaps on their own then it would be about an hours labour, thought it was best getting them done at the dealer and getting them to stamp my book as they drill the body and i wanted to preserve my warrenty
You sure they had to drill the bumper, most new cars have the holes already there, the new Panda has, you just remove the screws from the arch liners, hold up flaps and put screws back.
