Dont think they fit on the front cause of the sill skirt.

They fit on the back as standard.

Ide put genuine ones on the rear and some sort of rubber ones on the front like rally style ones but not to obvious.

something like this for example.

Good call with the sparco rally ones, they might be worth considering.

Anyone seen mudflaps on realoem?

you are right, but its not just the leading edges that gets damaged. half way up the rear bumper along that edge is also showing signs of damage too...

Thanks for all the replies...

I posted in the genuine bmw parts section, but didn't get a reply so i presume theye are not made.

I am no closer to getting any mud flaps though.

on the leading edges i got some of that clear film, but i am concerned about the underside of the rear kit.

i know i can get flaps for the rear, but i am worried about the look of the car as if its lost the fronts, as i am worried about the rally slag flap type look if i went for the sparco type of flap.

anyone got any ideas on making flaps from alternative cars etc.

and yes i am aware of the rust issue of they are not looked after, but i will do my best to do the needed...
