Hi All,

I installed Mudflaps right away when I picked up the car. It was raining so the rear flap manual was totally drenched. So pls bear with the restored image.

The good news is "you dont need to take any wheels off with an L phlips wrench"


I bought from Peninsula Hy for 50 for both front n rear, easy (Nice ppl).  So dont pay more.







The screws are M6 phillips. Each front x3 ; rear x 2 + 1 plastic retainer (clip)

Tools: I used an L wrench and side cutter (to remove existing plastic retainer)





Basically not hard at all  But you do need lots elbow grease to remove and install , as both front sides have a screw on a rather fiddly&deep spot (didnt show/ in the bend).
Remember to steer the front wheels aside for your convenience




Rear ones are easy. 
.






The middle round black thing is the clip

Last but not least, my spectacularly good-looking i30 diesel. :lol:

I am a mud flap person too, I screwed the Dealer for a set on my i30 Trophy.  God only knows why Hyundai don't fit them as standard, like Mitsubishi do to the Lancer etc.  They would cost bugger all to fit at the factory. :head_butt:

I am also a weather shield person, got them too. :-[ But paid for them. :disapp:

I just finished putting on my rear mud flaps, put front ones on last week. It was very easy. Why don't they put them on in the factory any more?

Did you have to pay for your mudflaps?

There's your answer ;)
