I believe there should be a guide somewhere under the member's section as well with some pretty pictures?

In the how to section there is http://www.fordfiestast.co.uk/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=164633&an=0&page=0#164633

Different flaps, but similar procedure.

I really want these for my car and I have been told that RallyFlapz are good, does anyone know if these are the right ones?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rally-Mudflaps-For...801923968429066

Also, anyone who has them, are they easy to fit? Me and my Dad will be fitting them and it will probably end up in an argument if it is anything too difficult

And, does anyone know where to get the decal from?




Yep I have those and fitted them myself. Pretty straight forward to fit, they come with a few pages of photos and instructions. Here's a few (!) tips...

- Do the rears first as you can measure how high from the ground they are and then do the fronts the same.

- Probably easier if you offer the rear brackets up and bend the tabs over so the line up with the arch, before bolting them and the flap on, quite hard to get right in situ. I found it was easier if you bend them with a set of pliers to get a nice sharp 90 degree bend.

- As well as the tabs its worth bending/curving the main long piece of it to fit the curve of the arch, that way the holes line up with the holes/tabs on the rear bumper (behind the arch liner).

- As I mentioned before, measure the height from the ground to the rear flaps and get the fronts to match, my fronts are a bit lower, but I think better as they catch more mud/stones.

- For the fronts I thought the plugs that hold them in wouldn't last long, so ditched them and got some big self tapping screws and washers from work, much better job.

- I didn't do what the instructions said, to do the small hole (with the supplied small self tapper) first which attaches to the protruding part of the arch liner. I don't think you could get them to line up too well that way. I offered up the flap and did the lower big hole first then the small self tapper to get it lined up, then the top one. I think you only need to use the spacer on the lower hole too, thought it would look silly with the spacer and a gap at the top.

I could take some photos which would show what I meant a lot better than I've explained here, but won't get the chance until the start of next week.

Hope thats some help, even if it is a bit long winded!

Cheers,




Thanks so much for that, I'm sure it will be helpful to me and my Dad when we fit them

Yeah will do, was planning to start a thread in The Forecourt and post a few of my car. You thinking of getting some flaps too?

I'll hopefully get the chance soon now the evenings are starting to draw out. Always something on during the weekends!
