Vauxhall Mudflaps!!

[Mr_PandaPaws]

How do you take the bdages off of the mudflaps?? There are 3 funny things keeping them on, but I can't get them to budge??
Help required urgently.....

[SimonP]

You've gotta break those Neil, they are like small metal squares with a small hole cut into each. Bend them in half and pull them off.

You wrecking my old hubcaps? lmao

[Mr_PandaPaws]

ahem.......ermmmm, no........I'd never do that!?!?

So the clips on the back have to be broken, then the badge will come off!! Okay then, where can I get new clips for when the badge goes back on?? Never seen clips like these before!?!?

[Mr_PandaPaws]

Are mudflaps okay to leave on modded cars?? or is it a case of............modded car + mudflaps = pile of pooh??

[green manalishi]

lmao

isn't modding about individuality?

i think they're cool, they help to keep the mud off your paint, and you don't get so much dust and stuff to hold water down the sides.

but i bet some will disagree.

[Mr_PandaPaws]

I know it's about individuality.........was just 'testing the water'!!

[green manalishi]

then i suggest you disagree with me lmao

sorry, that's a crap joke.

("no, the full half hour please!")

[Mr_PandaPaws]

LOL..........I know 'exactly' what you mean mate!! lmao lmao

[green manalishi]

lmao

i'm at that stage when i don't know if i need a smoke, a whiskey or bed.

maybe all three, in that order

[green manalishi]

actually, it would be more accurate to say:

another smoke, another whiskey or another bed. lmao

Are mudflaps okay to leave on modded cars??

I had them on my car and personaly I thought they helped set the car off mate.

By the way I have 4 in very good condition for sale

[Mr_PandaPaws]

How good is good, and how much you want for them??

Are they the ones with round vx badging??

[mavvmad]

They certainly are mate and as good as new. Mint condition,
By the way im breakin my GTE now so if ya need owt get down here fast.

[Mr_PandaPaws]

Mavv.................ssssshhhhh.........keep it quiet!! I need 1st pick....I've had lots of back luck!!

Anyone else with comments about mudflaps??

[TINTIN]

If you wanna keep them, then do so, if not bin them.

I know what your saying now;
"what a lot of bloody help that was"

Individualitty my dear Watson, the choice is yours.

[Scott G]

Im not sure if i would have them on my car. Although it would make it look a bit lower i guess.

But i have thought about getting them because even after a five minute drive my rear bumper and boot panel is covered dust and mud is a tad annoying.

I just live with it though but its upto you. it is your car after all.

[C9SRi]

im personally gonna have mudflaps on, make it loook lower, and give it a rally styley look ... maybe then get some white wheels, but i aint sure.

[Stewie]

From a practical point of view they are useful, but I don't like them.

Try them. If ya like them, leave them, if ya don't take them off!!!

[green manalishi]

ok, i'm in a better frame of mind now. guinness is better for that than whisky.

i think the mudflaps are cool.

they protect the car (including keeping it looking cleaner longer)

the back ones do make the car look lower as you &^%$ off into the sunset. i set mine so low that when our (slightly large, but don't tell him i said so) drummer got into the back, they scraped on the ground lmao

but they make the car look wider too.

i like the badges (oddly enough) because the after market ones are usually pretty duff, kinda fits 23 different type of car thing. the vx badges say (to me) either you care enough about the thing to get the right ones, or your careful enough still to have the factory fitted, ie you havent gone over too rough ground, kerbs etc

i reckon definately keep /get em on, and really, keep the badges too.

have a word with mavvmad (but ask him about bus shaped scuff marks )
