wouldn't cut them down until you have put them upto where you intend to fix them, and how are you going to do this, you can buy the Kaylan brackets seperately.

http://www.teamtorquesteer.co.uk/fiesta-...gsbrackets.htmlmine are genuine Kaylan flaps and come with bespoke brackets to fit the ST, nothing else will mount them, certainly not at the rear, you could bodge the fronts with some self tappers.

You dont need to cut them down and I have a pic (surpise) of a red ST with these fitted thanks to some "home made" fixings (additional stickers added by the owner at the time for its later "theme"  )

The flaps from Team Torquesteer, do you have to take the wheel off when drilling the holes, or can u work around the wheel?

i fitted kaylan rally flaps to my blue fez st from performance creations i think i paid 75, torqesteers are the same flaps and can be bought off ebay too directly, you have to take each wheel off individually and its a pain in the arse lol

I know its not a good diagram lol its just a quite knock up in paint but I hope it gives you a idea what I am on about, there used alot to fix interor panels etc.
These came with my mud flap kit from Team Torquesteer but they are rubbish as they break easily,and don't really hold things together very well so I replaced them with stainless steel machine bolts and nylon locking nuts which did the job much better, just made things a bit more awkward fitting the flaps as I had to take the inner wings plastic cover off, screw everything together and then manipulate the plastic bit back on.

I cant quite visualise the fixings you are using, presumably the nut and bolt hold the mud flap on but what holds the screw to the car? Is there somekind of layer that catches the screw head or something? 
The mud flaps on the front of the car are where you use these clips to fasten the mud flap to the plastic inner arch.
You have to drill a hole into the plastic inner arch and then push the plastic clips through the holes already in the flaps, and then into the plastic inner wing which they are meant to grip too. But they are not very secure... So I used the stainless steel machine screws some large washers on both sides so the heads of the machine screw and nut don't pull through the plastic inner wing or mud flap..Much more secure...
The rear Mud flaps are different again, they come with a bracket you need to bend to shape, and nuts and bolts which work a treat. I put some thread lock on the nuts to make sure they didn't work loose..
Hope you get what I mean.
J.

bit of double sided velcro or sticky pads on the lower front flap helps to keep it secure and flush.
