Mud Flaps (1 Viewer)

[MichaelT]

We have a Fiat Ducato (2016) based MH and are thinking of fitting some front mudflaps so looking to see what other folks have fitted and to see how easy they are to fit.
I have seen these ones below which seem OK and probably cheaper than FIAT originals, anyone else fitted them?

Genuine ones are only £46



I fitted them on our Peugeot boxer, don't use the crappy bracket that comes with them though, it looks shite. Fix them with self drilling screws and penny washers painted black. Then put grease on them

Even better use stainless screws / washers.

Fitted Fiamma front mudflaps last week. Not cheap but very good quality and very easy to fit. Not quite sure if they will large enough. Will be looking for a little mud to drive on to see if they give enough coverage!

If you're at all practical, go to a company that supply truck & trailer spares. Buy some large rectangular flaps for a truck.Make a template from cardboard & cut the flap to it. They cover much more & are far more effective than those offered as a manufacturers accessory. Cheaper & more durable as well.
Don't forget rear flaps as well, particularly if you have an electric step behind a rear wheel.

Fix with large penny washers & nuts & bolts in stainless.

Hubby bought some rubber mudflaps for our old Smart car but obviously we've sold it now however he's only going to put the front ones on our new Smart car (the rear ones don't fit well and the wheels don't throw up much anyway), so he's gonna use them for the front on the new camper as they actually fit quite well - we measured them against our current camper. As they have a nice moulded/raised edge they'll look nice and smart too, the only thing we need to do is make a small 'arm' for the inner side but that'll be easy peasy.

At £10.75 (incl P&P) you can't go wrong!

Exactly as I did and I used a sharp chisel to remove a length of the bristles to ensure a flat fit for the washers, didn't use stainless though

That's what I call "Rough but functional"

The wife reckons I don't need these - now I'm retired and have lots of time to wash the muck off.

You could always buy some plain rally type mud flaps and cut them to fit.
If you are reasonably handy fitting should be a doddle

Thanks for all your replies and advice, looked around the interweb and managed to find genuine Fiat ones with free shipping (so overall cost is lower) for £45.99, link below if anyone interested.

Just be careful with your new mudflaps when reversing up and down a levelling ramp.

Thanks, had not thought of that.

Nothing rough about it, all done with professional finess.

I used flat rubber mats by the way, not the side ways on artificial grass.

Just fitted a front set from Johns Cross on a 2009 Ducato. Well pleased.
