McDude 33 Posted August 17, 2009 Dudes! I have now been through two sets of 'original' GTi front mudflaps both pairs cracking and disntegrating, the last pair were only on the car for two weeks before last winter's snow ripped them to pieces and then off. I'm thinking of going for that rally look with a set of red polypro ones. But, the question is, will I look like a tw@t? My pug is white and looks standard other than a set of PTS stripes on the 3-bar grill. I'd only put them on the front. If anyone has any pics to influence my decision then that would be peachy. If the consensus is that I will ook like a tw@t, I might still do it anyway! In that case, where is a good source of said material? eBay seems to be full of scammers wanting silly money for tat - no surprises there then. Cheers, McD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,536 Posted August 17, 2009 Please don't do it. Rally mudflaps should go only on rally cars. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeilGTi85 5 Posted August 17, 2009 You could try and find some original rubber one's rather then the "original" plastic one's?! Neil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davepug205 7 Posted August 17, 2009 You would need a big Aluminium wing on the roof to keep the mudflaps in theme Try Rally Design or DemonTheives. Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLPoomobile 958 Posted August 17, 2009 If you get them, please promise that you'll have Motorsport written across them I'm assuming you want them for practicalities, that you don't want to be without a set for fear of stone chips up the side of the car. Have you considered using some of that clear paint protection film applied to the bottom halves of the car below the trim? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McDude 33 Posted August 18, 2009 That'll be a resounding 'NO' from the forum then. I don't understand, my 1/18th scale T16 looks so cool with red flaps! I think i might try GLP's suggestion of clear plastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboyblack 1 Posted August 18, 2009 I don't think they look that bad... these were on my car when I bought it off Ed and they looked pretty good. That said... i've now removed them as i'm going back to as close to standard as I can. Would be happy to sell these if they're what you're after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLPoomobile 958 Posted August 18, 2009 I've changed my mind about the Motorsport logos. Considering the size of those bastards, they really need the naked lady silhouette just like all the American truckers have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd take the fronts off you as I can at least see what they are like - how much do you want? GLP - I'll make sure and put some shiney, reclined, naked ladies on them, just for you.

philfingers 5 Posted August 19, 2009 I had red ones on my rally car to start with but the one was damaged previously and i fitted some clear plastic stuff. It's Sh*te, flaps like a bugger in the hot weather. I'll be looking for some red polyprop stuff again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted August 19, 2009 They look poo unless on a rally car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edd-XS 0 Posted September 20, 2009 Graystone automotive do em for about £6 or something stupid! Cut them to shape and you'll look like a badman! I miss my 205 so damn much Edd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unariciflocos 49 1 Cars Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Stones are chipping away on the blue paint on my sills so I'm considering the red rally mudflaps. Do you guys think they'd look poo on mine? Maybe white or transparent so that they don't draw as much attention? Edited February 5, 2014 by unariciflocos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edp 67 3 Cars Posted February 6, 2014 they look gash and repeating what others have said should only be on rally cars... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unariciflocos 49 1 Cars Posted February 7, 2014 Well judging by the rollcage, helmet, seat and overalls one would think the photo was taken at a rally, well hillclimb if it makes a difference. I don't want them to make a fashion statement, just need to keep roks and pebbles from chipping away my paint because all the 4x4 guys cut corners and throw all the s*it in the world onto the asphalt.

Leon 24 Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) I had them on my road rally 205. Mine went right inside the arch and protected the inner wing/A post from gravel rash Edited February 8, 2014 by Leon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You judged correctly but I was answering the original question and not talking about your brilliant looking rally car which I'm sure would look even more brilliant with bright red mud flaps.
