Well after searching for some genuine BMW front mudflaps, I have been told they are no longer available.
So off to Halfords, and £9.99 later I fitted these "Universal" versions:
with a bit of modification by cutting the lower section off:
and attaching the 4 fixing clips:
They now look like this:
They mould pretty well to the shape of the car, cover the soon to be repaired rusty front sill edge, and generate a saving of £25 over the original BMW type, (that's if you can find any...)

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..
Re: Halfords Mudflaps
They look like a great alternative to the OEM item I've been trying to locate a genuine set but have drawn a blank so these look like a good option. Do you have the Halfords part number?

Re: Halfords Mudflaps
They look a good fit especially as I imagine they are universal.
The only possible improvement is to fit some double sided tape where the flap meets the body and inner liners to reduce any water/mud getting behind the mudflap.
As you are going to repaint the sills that could be done then.
Good find.

Re: Halfords Mudflaps
Gookah, would you be so kind as to take a pic from the side so I can see them from a bit further away? I've wanted to put some on for a while now but be nice to see them in situ first.

Re: Halfords Mudflaps

Designed or not designed, that is the question.

Sorry but phone photo is not the best.
They look not much different to the genuine ones on my wife's Z3...
Cant see any reason they wouldn't work on the rear either.sirius-c wrote:how would these fair as rears?
