cool, look good on it! what about the front though, do they rub on the wheel when turning or they ok?

[Thumper]

I believe they need trimming

[Kev]

Phew i as right lol.
For the fronts i had to trim of the metal plate off mine to stop rubbing ( kinda boomarang shape )

I put them on my vxr which has 19in wheels. The back ones fit easily the front ones are a nightmare you have to cut the metal support off and trim away part of the mud flap and ridges to allow full lock on the steering. If you require more pictures or advise i'll try to help. From memory i think they cost £19 a pair (as long as you don't cut too much off and have to buy a second set of fronts)

[Dawn]

hey, could you possibly send me a pic of the front mudflap so i can see what you done to alter them, gonna give it a go i think! see if i can do it with just one pair!

Here's the pics if you need any more info let me know





All you need is to make sure you have a good sharp knife. For the fronts cut the back of the rivets off to get the metal plate off. Then cut the excess off the fixing holes on the badge side to make them flush. All you can do is take your time and plan where you are going to cut. The backs were really easy in comparison just make sure you drill through into the bumper to get a secure fixing.

cool, thanks for the info and pics, will get to it soon, mayb with a little help from my friend, lol.
