Right well I bought these a while ago now and cant decided if I want to fit them or not. Heres a not very good picture but what do you lot think.

Posted Image

I only have 2 and if I did fit them I would quite like to put them on the front as well.

Anyway opinions please. O yes and if anyone has pictures of these fitted to another mini I would like to see them.

Thanks.

I like them personally, if you did fit them would you mount them as low as that or a little higher up. I think it would look better a bit higher up.

I would do it a bit higher. I didn't realize how low I had them when I took the picture. Its gonna go on 10s and be lowered as well so their rub the floor if I mount them that low.

i bought mudflaps for mine (excuse them being cooper ones, as that was all minispares had at the time)

i love them, although i want some bigger ones, and some on the front :D

i havent quite worked out what is involved the putting mudflaps on the front, as they simply wont fit right with no brackets etc

I dont like these ones, I think you should go for the Red huge rally ones!
