General Mud flaps

[poggy]

Hi,

Does anybody have mud flaps fitted to their new Ulysse. I am not keen on washing cars and most of the dirt seems to be sprayed up by the wheels.

Nope, no flaps - mine doesn't seem to get too dirty apart from the wheels which go black.

Hi,

No mud flaps on mine either; are they an option even. Couldn't spot them in the Fiat Breo book.

Hi,
If you fit an aftermarket mud flap make sure that it cannot be bent back to touch the tyre or you'll rip things out when reversing over kerbs/obstacles, etc.

So much to do, so little time.... and Totally Skint!!

Hi,

I didn't see them as an option either, but I know the 807 has them in the options book.

I will have to ask the main dealer.

Cos the main dealer knows all about the Ulysse I presume??????

Hi,

I was being foolish, ask the main dealer about something which isn't in the book !!!!!

Poggy

 

[Stu DemonD]

Ha ha - they have trouble knowing what IS in the book!

Are we just too cynical....hmmmm!?!

My dad got some for his (after dealer told him they didnt do them !)
fiat part numbers were 71801621 & 71801622 not sure which was front & which was rear & under a tenner a set ...hope this helps

Hi,

Thanks for that, just spoke to dealer and they are ordering them in at £8.21 a set.

Pretty cheap.

Thanks all - will also have a word with my dealer and get a set - looking at the state of the bottom of the car today, it certainly needs them!

 

[poggy]

Hi,

Just got a message from the dealer, apparently the mud flaps have been discontinued. They are looking at alternatives and will get back to me. No doubt these will be a lot more exepensive as the others were cheap.

Regards,

Poggy

Doh! [!]

 

[Stu DemonD]

Exactly - I had mentioned about spending £8.21 per set to the missus, and she said 'how sad' [V]

So, alternatives? Will dealer get back to you for one!

Stuart

 

[poggy]

Hi,

Apparently the alternative is to buy a car cleaning kit as there are no mud flaps for the Ulysse now.

Poggy

 

[John_K]

I guess the thing to do now is scour the shelves of Halfords for a set that fit!!

 

[poggy]

Hi,

Maybe the Citroen or Peugeot versions will fit. Just have to change the logo's.

Poggy

 

[Stu DemonD]

Good idea - may as well debadge the whole car! Now that would be fun. Or change the whole lot to a Peugeot, and hope second hand values/residuals based on their list price!

Hi,

Dealer called back and said he spoke to Fiat and the mud flaps are in "development". He said give them 6 months and they should be available. Given 6 months to develop, they should be a very good set of mud flaps.

So, anyone got a tame Peugeot or Cirtoen dealer so they can check this one out easily?
