mud flaps

[haGGard]

Want some nice smart mud flaps on my puma. Where do you guys get yours from? The bay?

The general consensus is that the Ford OEM ones suit the car or the universal Cannon ones that you can get from Halfords if you're lucky or direct from http://www.cannoncarmats.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hi haGGard,

I'm also thinking about adding mud flaps to mine after reading this previous post regarding mud flaps: http://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1245&hilit=pumabuild+discount

Daily I have to drive on a dirt track road to get to my allotment, so i'm thinking the flaps would protect the car a bit from the dust & small stones etc. as well as look nice :thumbs:#

Have you found a good price? Allo the searching I have done best I can find is around £50.00 for a full set of Front & Rear :|

i would have to say ford oem ones FTW they shape to the bumpers and look very smart

They do look smart - I had them on my last kat. Having said that, I am not fitting flaps to my new one.

Is there a reason why? Just wondered if it's due to to something car wise? Just trying to work out the pros and cons before shedding out £50 odd pounds

would be about £50, price on website needs VAT & postage adding

Comes to £54.47 with VAT and postage so might as well go to your local Ford parts desk and get them for £48 all in.

If you decide to get them that is.

EDIT: Just looked up how much I paid at Fords for mine £19.15 + Vat which would be £22.02 each pair or £44.04 for a full set.

Hi Dal,

Thanks Just called my local ford garage and they priced them at £26.75 per set = £53.50

So eBay may be the cheaper option after all... off to do some more research lol

 

[Dal]

Ford garages are a weird breed. Different prices and discounts depends where you go. That Formula E oil I bought recently for £15 for 5L was still £28 at a different Ford dealers 10 miles away.

I have the standard Ford flaps on mine so i can't really say what it's like without. They do suit the car very well though. My car is black so i can't tell if it helps keep it more clean because any dirt shows up on black without fail

Would mud flaps off a mk4 or mk5 fiesta work, very similar arches???

 

[craigk_47]

I've got a set of cannon ones that someone can have for the price of the postage. They're off the FRP but I imagine they'll be cut to the same shape. Going for some rally inspired sparco ones myself

 

[benking]

I was just thinking if they were the same as the fiesta then people could find them in scrapyards for say £10 rather than giving frauds £50 of our hard earned money, for virtualy the same thing k:

@ Craig the Cannons are actually completely universal. Used to be sold at Halfords, just seem to fit the FRP well.

£12.50 for the cannons

 

[craigk_47]

is that how much they are new?

 

[red]

Spikes price is the new price I believe.

 

[haGGard]

You can find a full set for 12.50 new at halfrauds for the cannon ones? That sounnds very good indeed. Cant go wrong with a ford set though, but at 50 quid i'll hold on a little while yet before i feel like spending that kinda money on them

 

[red]

£12.50 is for a set of 2.

If you buy 2 sets you get them delivered for free though.. bargain.

Although I dont think they work well on the rear imo
