Changed my 2003 WRX for a 2005 STi this weekend.

My WRX is fitted with Prodrive mudflaps and dealer wanted £300 for a set of Subaru mudflaps fitted to new car.

Seen some on ebay today ranging from £46 to £60. I don't want to pay over the odds, but want very good quality.

Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.

Try Scott Lowe. I have some and I'm very happy with them.

www.scottlowe.co.uk is the one - A great quality flap - A little more than ebay prices but recommended none the less.

Do these have to be drilled into bodywork??

skylight · 19 Dec 2005, 04:07 PM

yes m8 - they come with brackets - think most heavyweight flaps would need to be drilled just to hold em on...

Philh · 19 Dec 2005, 04:26 PM

Don't fancy drilling a new car but what the heck, better than stone chips on the sills.

skylight · 19 Dec 2005, 04:49 PM

And that Bling factor

Philh · 19 Dec 2005, 05:21 PM

Don't want em to fly off but will sh*t myself if I have to start drilling.

PeterUK300 · 19 Dec 2005, 07:12 PM

They look the business and a very very good price

Philh · 20 Dec 2005, 08:21 AM

Will give em a try. The Subaru ones on my WRX look really tatty after 18 months, at least at this price you can replace em every few months.
