Mud Flaps
Does anyone have the pattern ones on their vehicle? Are they up to scratch? Genuine ones are around £70 per pair for the rear yet you can get pattern ones for £30.
Im usually an advocate of genuine parts, but for a bit of plastic that catches mud Im sure I can make an exception unless its dire quality.
Cheers

I bought some pattern ones off the bay. Apart from the badge they seem identical to the genuine ones. I fitted them but have noticed the back ones are not sitting square and the holes were a "bit out" so I'm going to whip them back off and have another go. No real complaints though for the cost difference.Jarrod

Dubbs has done this to his Causeway Lux:
Its worth thinking about as it looks mega! my only worry is backing onto a curb and ripping it off, like I did once with some mudflaps on a brand new Ifor Williams.

Happens all the time on the hgvs, sadly its also rips the wings of and sometime the steel wing stay, the smart cookies hold their flaps on with plastic nuts and bolts, dead easy to replace, with zero damage.
