I want to fit a pair of Rear mudflaps any recommendations ?, can I get the original Rover ones anywhere ? thanks

Is your car a MKI or MKII? You can still get MKI Rover original mud-flaps but not MKII.

Mine is a 2000 reg (15 yrs old) so I guess thats a mk 1?, where can I get some ? thanks

Dont do it,they cut into the paintwork on the bumper,and leave a scratch mark, this is what happened when I removed mine.Its easier to clean road dirt off,than have to do paintwork repairs.

As above. I wouldn't fit any again as they catch on speed bumps and also damage the paint but if you really want some http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID001516

Opinions are divided; I always fit them and keep an eye on damage to paintwork etc. Where I live lots more certainty of damage from mud and pebbles. Best ones for me are not the OEM ones but the ones radioguy sells which are only 20 quid a set and they are neater and do not drag on speed humps. I have fitted them to MKI and II cars saloons and tourers. Some trimming easy on some models.

Mmmm,personaly I would not fit them.I have had them on the front and back and as mentioned the fronts catch speed humps the back drags the kerb when I drive up onto my drive.

I have now removed the fronts to find the paint work is marked with the out line of the mud flap

.

So in answer to your question.....Dont bother

I like them

Got 'em front and rear, the front one's are cut off by 25mm. I don't worry too much about the paintwork, it's an old car anyway
