Interior/Exterior Another 30 minute mod.

front mud flaps on my MCS. 30 minutes that included rotating my tires. The best nine dollars I have spent on the car. I live on a gravel road in Colorado, the front flaps have eliminated 75% of the dirt/slop thrown onto the body. The front of the rear wheel hoops will not be getting pitted to death on this MCS. Kick *** OEM part. they are discreet looking, like they belong. Not an after thought. All that for NINE bucks

the part number is 82160136806
here is a link to Bridger's web site: http://www.bridger.us/mini/howto/Fro...ud%20Flaps.PDF
I am still at the fire station I will try to post a pic tomorrow when I return home. IMHO they are well worth the effort for the decreased road spray on the body

I have the mud flaps too. They do help alot but I think I will modify mine a bit this spring. I drive alot of dirt roads in my area and I think if I were to add a bit more rubber to the flap to extend it down about 2-3" to the bottom of the guard and about 1 more inch to the sides would really improve them, and not look like they are out of place. The mudguards do look really good on the car. They look like they came from the factory. I'm pleased with them.

True, sirron, bigger flaps will stop more splatter. The ones pictured also appear to be quite flexible. I was under the impression that the OEM flaps were molded from a hard plastic. I think I would prefer the aesthetic of the hard molded style over this style - so, I guess I'd compromise some function, at least comparatively.
Other questions: Do the OEM flaps fit with aero kit side skirts? Would they look ridiculous with the side skirts?

>>Yeah, maybe it'll get mouldy and fall off! :evil:
If this is in reference to my chosen spelling of the word "molding" - PARDON ME for not being English! I'm all for good spelling, but I think you're getting a little carried away. If I happend to be a Brit, would you still chastise me?

Unless sirron is a Brit, he's got HIS spelling wrong for once! He is the resident crotchety old man spelling police. There's a line between correcting someone politely, or some good-natured jocularity, and being a *****. Ron spends time on both sides of that line regularly.
Yeah, they've got some sort of not-very-attractive-looking molding glued onto that car. Unfortunate!

Nobull60, I have thought similarly for a while now.... but reality is slowly making me reconsider.
I drive on a dirt road that is frequently wet from ground water seepage - think mud - and I use Molly as a daily driver. I just don't have the time to wash her as often as is necessary to keep all the spatters off her.
The road was supposed to be paved last year and wasn't. It should be done this year, so I'm holding out on the flaps to see if it happens. *crosses fingers*

OK, I have photos, who can I email them to , so they can be posted. Don't be topissed at me for not knowing how to post photos. I'm still relatively new.
P.S. the search option provided me with 173 posts on how to post an item as my signature, but I don't believe I want to include two pics of mudflaps on every post.

Darksky, I used to have that same question about picture posting. The deal is that the picture has to exist somewhere on the web, and then use the IMAGE button at the bottom of the "Edit Post" screen to insert the URL of the picture you're trying to post. If you can't find a place to post the picture online, you can upload it to the Memebers MINIs section of MCO and link to it from there.
Once you get the hang of it, it's just like inserting a URL/web link in a post. Hope that helps!
