  1. Hiya peeps my V's last owner had a go a retrimming the door cards with pleather and did a awful job. So I've found some material and roughly put it together just needs stitching up now but I'm not 100% so I wanted some advice before I get it finished

    Thanks in advance alex :-)

  2. It's pretty simple mate the passenger side you have to remove to whole glove box to make it simple and the drivers side you have to remove the panel under the steering wheel it's about 10 screws that are all simple to get to.

    Hope this was helpful.

    Alex.

  3. Let's go back in time to the end of last year when I bought mud flaps from CarbonGoodies. I really wanted to get the carbon ones, but Rick recommended Kaylan for winter use, as the carbon could easily snap on cold weather. Kaylan is the same material used in WRC cars. Package was well packed and arrived in two weeks.

    Front set

    Rear set

    I received these in January and ended up installing only the front ones, as the time and weather was a big limit and I wasn't quite sure how the rear ones should be mounted.

    Front flaps were easy to install as they are totally bolt on kit. Only problem was the length of the flaps as my car is lowered. I decided to cut ~1cm off, but in the end it wasn't enough though and every now and then they scrape on bumps and curves.

    As the weather got better I decided to mount the rear flaps too. It was a much more work than I expected as the flaps hadn't pre-drilled holes like front ones and some of bracket's holes were also too small for self-tapping screws.

    One existing bolt is used to mount the bracket and then you fix it with three self tapping screws to a plastic inner arch. Flap is then mounted with three bolts and I can say it's quite hard to measure the fixing points, as the arch line is curvy and the room is limited and you want to get them straight. I made a small mistake with measure, so I had to drill one extra hole, but luckily you can't notice it as the holes are almost side by side.

    Rear flaps are hanging ~9cm from the ground.

    Some final words, front flaps went through the rough winter dragging roads and they are still spot on, just dirty. Rear ones have been on the car like one month and are like new, mainly because they won't get so much abuse if at all.

    Even though the rear ones were a bit hard to get on I can only recommend these flaps. Really good durability, look and easy installation, you just need a bit of DIY and patience! :-)

    Now go and fill in the order! ;-)

    Of course I don't want someone pushing my car away while at work lol. He said the car was so clean and tidy he didn't mind the leniency on it. And all it needed was the handbrake levers on the caliper wiggling and lobbing now it can hold a vertical drop ;-)
