As some of you may know a few weeks ago I made my own mudflaps, just hadn't fitted them yet.

Well I've fitted them tonight and taken some photos during some steps so there will be a full write up in here tomorrow...
plus it was dark by the time I had finished and couldn't get any photos of them fitted so will do that tomorrow too.

also replaced my damaged splitter today with a new one...hopefully I will keep it intact a lot longer than the last one

check back tomorrow for the write up

Look forward to seeing the pics steve been waiting for a while to see these

Can't wait pics first lol !!

all being well and these mudflaps look as good as they sound you tempted to start making a few and selling them on stevie??

The problem is I got the material from the UK and shipping here was as much as the material itself.
I reckon if I lived in the UK then I might, but not when I'm living over here

writeup in progress...

ah thats a shame bud you will have to leave instructions somewhere for everyone!!

Right here we go...

So I started off with 4 sheets of Kaylan Black mudflap material



and got the templates from Steve



For the rear flaps you need to be careful because if follow the measurements exactly, then the upper part of the mudflap will be too wide in my opinion. The 12cm measurement does not take the width of the curve into consideration I think which makes the upper part not correct.

So I made my templates and cut the flaps out. I trimmed them a bit smaller than the measurements above and that enabled me to cut all 4 flaps out of 2 pieces of material. (This leaves me with 2 sheets left, with which I could make another set for someone )



These bits are the leftovers from 2 sheets...



Steve also supplied me with the fitting instructions, however I forgot to print them out for yesterday. Fortunately I had read them a couple of times so basically knew the gist of it...

I bought the fitting brackets from Team Torquesteer. This includes the brackets and all screws and bolts to fit both the front and rear mudflaps. Very useful if you make your own mudflaps.

I'm not going to explain every detail because that's what the fitting instructions are for...
Please excuse the very very dirty car

Starting off with nothing...



Then with the bracket installed



Lined the flap up and drilled the holes in the Mudflap



Installed mudflap(s)





I didn't take any pics during fitting of the front mudflaps. They were pretty simple, just drill a couple of holes for the large plugs and then a few screws.

Finished article...







I'm still considering to trim them a bit more making them smaller and maybe rounding off the edges...not sure yet though
To be fair I think when I put my summer wheels on, due to the different ET value, I think my wheels may stick out a bit further than the mudflaps but we'll see about that when it happens.

So as said above I have enough material to make one more set. If anyone is interested, please let me know. Would be looking for some small compensation (£) but not as much as the pre-made ones you can get.

I also replaced my broken splitter

From this...



To this...



Also while busy with the jobs last night I noticed that somebody had had a go at one of my stickers...
I had "I'd rather push a Fiesta than drive a Corsa"
I think some Corsa driver has seen it while my car was parked up and obviously couldn't handle a joke...



So now I have removed it. I have another one the same but don't think I'll put it back on.

Thanks for looking and reading (if you could be bothered to get this far)

Great job! What did you use to cut the kaylan?
At least they only tried to remove the stickers, here you would have likely found a brick on your seat...

look spot on mate good work the effort had paid off!! were you ever tempted to put any logos or something on the mud flaps themselves??

Good work paid off and no doubt saved yourself a tonne! Flog um on here and make some ££££

looks great

I'm not sure if its actually 'Kaylan' material although it is from the company Kaylan.
When seeing 2 main types of mudflaps on ebay, normal or kaylan ones, is kaylan quite rigid or really floppy? (i know i'm asking for puns with that but please dont start)
This stuff is not rigid and really quite bendy.

I just used some scissors and took my time. some of the inside edges are not perfect but the outside edges are from the edge of the material itself

never really though about logos, and tbh I think my mudflaps are a bit short(or fitted higher) that there is not enough space for logos really.

look just like mine! much better than the big hanging ones from TT or the like- Really didn't like the rear ones from TT they are far too long.
No offence to anyone that has them, just not what I personally wanted hence why I made my own as well

joint overseas project


lot of great work there, job's a good un
