My mud flaps scrape on drive!
« on: 23 February 2014, 11:21 »
Hi,
I have problems getting out of my drive, as my golfs slightly lowered the mud flaps catch and so I would like to buy some rubber one so there will be no problem, although I don't want cheap ones.
Is there anyone selling a full set? Or that can direct me to some

 Thanks !  :grin: :grin:

Mine scrapes all the time too. Sometimes the anni splitter catches. Either remove them altogether or get used to it. It's at least a warning that the ground is close I know if rather be warned by plastic than metal.
