Re: Mudflaps
Just a thought. Might be an idea to keep the rivets in a pocket etc for warmth until you're actually going to install each one. With the latest forecast, I can see the low temps making the plastic a bit brittle. It's supposed to be around -5C here tonight..... :cold:

Re: Mudflaps
Is that a pack of rivets in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

Re: Mudflaps
Ok, back from holidays and all fitted.
I started by fitting the winter wheel set which left the arches looking empty

With mudflaps on and spacers I had ordered it now looks a lot beefier

Re: Mudflaps
They do leave the arches looking a little 'vacant' don't they. Roll on Spring and putting the proper wheels back on.....

Re: Mudflaps
Simond, have you put spacers on the fronts as well as the rears? What size spacers did you fit?

Re: Mudflaps
I have 25mm spacers at the front
The rear are 60mm spacers made to fit a X6 axle and receive a X5 wheel.

Very good, I'm using the same style of wheels without spacers but have the spigots fitted to the rears.
