original mud flaps FTW... and they are cheap as chips!! some where on here i put a price up...

p.s they come with everything to fit them up... new screws, clips for the rear and M6 bolts on the rear, a tip though, remove the wheels to fit them up its 100% easier than using a "bent" screw driver like i tried to LOL

Nice :cool:

I think the mudflaps are a little bit to long, maybe you can cut them to right size?

Are they some kind of race/rally mudflaps? They look like it, just like many Subaru's have.

The trouble with long mud flaps is they get ripped off if you reverse up a curb. Get trapped between the curb and tyre.  Depending on how they are fixed you can do damage to the fixing points, even rip the wheel arch liner.

Those definitely don't look like the OEM mudflaps, certainly not like mine imported from Korea.

haha yeah found this out, twice, to my own expense :D

and I know they aren't OEM,. but the standard ones don't really work as well, I noctice customers in work who have them still getting spray up the side, with the ones I have they work great.

you could cut them to size if you wish, but I prefered having them long. better than no flap at all...

the best sound is when your flaps hit the speed ramps....

Hey syecadelic lovin the stereo setup there.

Would love to know more about the setup you have.
I'd love to get one similar that integrates the GPS.

I don't have any probs with the one that's std, but to have the GPS in-built to the screen there would be nice and tidy.

Hey clackerz
wel the set up is simple.
Its a JVC KW AVW 820, ther is a 2010 model, 830. but not much differance.
There is a dvd player, ipod connection, av connection and bluetooth . you can add the addition of a sat nav as far as im aware, however I havn't botherd yet due to the money needed. Im sure you could find a similar product. I really wanted one with bluetooth, hence I went with this one.

THe screen is completely detachable, a good security measure. any more q's, just ask

Thanks.
Do you have steering controls working with this unit?
Also where did you get the replacement fascia?

Yeah, I have the steering wheel mounted audio controls connected up to it

thats the one I got, you ask for a patch lead for the make of stereo you get, e.g. JVC, Kenwood etc.

This connects straight into the headunit.

I was able to use the existing mounting brackets on the I30 stereo, on the new aftermarket one, and therefore never bothered purchasing a fitting fascia kit. £40+ i think on ebay.

It would finish it off nicely a surround, but at the minute I don't see any point.
