Mudflaps (not beef curtains)

[Daryll]

Ok so I might sound like a right tool by saying this but I have a notion in my head that's telling me to go out and buy some mudflaps for my 325i.
I've seen some on fleabay with the bmw domed badge in the corner and think they will look pretty sweet for some reason.

No. 1....what are you views on this? Should I stay off the nail varnish remover or do I have a point?

Secondly does anyone have a pic of a white M-Tech kitted e30 with mudflaps on all 4 corners?

[Giggz]

Just wanted to say that is one sweeeeeet motor sir!

I personnaly think that mud flaps would have looked better if your ride was black.

My mates got mud flpas on his black 320i and it does not look out of place one bit.

[Daryll]

Cheers Gigz...she's changed a lot since that pic was taken, crystal indicators, clear sides, new badges all round, a few coats of polish and a lot of tidying up. Cheers anywho...

Do you have any pics of your mates flaps or are you not that close?

Just wanna see how they look on an e30

[BrAdZ]

i think they look cool when a car is really really low, they just show how low the car is!

[Daryll]

Good point Bradz....mine is as low as you can go without removing your Y fronts on the tarmac whilst in the drivers seat...

If I do get them though I will have to make the flaps on the passenger side are shorter than those on the drivers side for when the wife is riding shotgun.

[rowemeister]

I dont think the flaps will fit to the m-tech 2 body kit m8 + I don't think it will look right.

[Daryll]

Cheers for your views rowe, always good to hear a nah amongst the yays....forgot about the kit fitment to be honest.

[elliot]

clint (clackmac) put them on his baur with an mtec 1 kit, didnt look out of place in my opinion.

[Simon]

Lots of people will probably reply noooo!!

I think they look OK, here's a black sport with mudflaps, I think they look nice, shame about the last 2 pics though...

[Daryll]

Nice one Simon, thanks for the pics....I did think the majority of zoners would say no, so I'm going to go with the majority to be on the safe side so everyones opinion will be apprecited.



Notice in the last 2 pics of the car on that site though, every part of the car is mullered apart from the mudflaps!!

[Widge]

Yes do it!
I hate my car being covered in sh1t
And they look quite good - you can always take them off and sell them on ebay if you don't like them.

[Daryll]

Was going to go with the BMW logo'd jobbies as I have the bmw logos on my pina's and not the alpina badges..
Also quite tempted to colour code them......hmmm

i got the proper Bm flaps on it and it certainly makes it look lower

[Daryll]

Any pics Bob??

[Mahmood]

To be honest, anything other than OE mudflaps look like an afterthought.

I will be putting up two sets of brand new mudflaps (front and back) for sale in the next couple of weeks.

I do not need them now as I am selling my 318i. Both are still in the original packaging and were from BMW in Chiswick.

Sorry, I can't get pics up for a while as I have other priorities at home at present. If you're interested let me know and we can talk in a couple of weeks.

[Daryll]

Cheers for the offer of your flaps Mahmood...I'm touched

Seroiusly though, I'll try and find a pic of the originals and then if I like 'em I'll keep an eye on the for sale section.

Cheers

[Giggz]

nah...sorry daryll,i aint got no pics of his ride.

It does look sweet though. He got it dropped 50 or 60mm sitting on Azevs...no m-tech2 body kit funnyly enough.Clean as a whistle.

[Bob_S]

got these -




no kit or owt, just had to take rear one off and made the car look higher, it obviously isnt but looks lower with em on, my car isnt lowered yet though

soz about size of pics, I dont know how to resize

[Daryll]

A

Is that a no then?

[johnono]

had em, 2 months later i d gotten rusty arches, dodgy jack points and every time i went down a speed hump they would scrape!


dont do it, i have front and back , only 1 season and they have been shelved

[Sjoerd320i]

NO

[Simon13]

OE mud flafs won't fit i think, cos m-tech kitted cars never came with them from the factory mate, so a bit of adaptation would be required me tinks!

my 2p would be no for your car

but yes if it had no kit!

[Daryll]

Well it was tight but I think the general concencous is a NO! The rust thing did it for me with all the mud, dirty and hedgehog gutts getting caught up in them.
Ah well back to the drawing board I guess.

[Brianmoooore]

Cars with OE cill covers, like higher end tourings, use different OE mudflaps than cars without cill covers.

[Cotty]

My touring came with mud flaps, look OE all black with raised BMW at the bottom. I think they look good on the touring but not on the saloon
