Default Front mud flaps fitted

I bought half a meter of 10mm black rubber from my local produce barn for $20
cheapest i could find it and at half a meter aswell. As no one else would sell it for less than a meter and wanted $80 (i dont think so) anyways yesterday i grabbed some cardboard and started making my template for them was easy enough then used this to mark out my mud flaps, 10mm is easy to cut even scissors will do a nice clean job which i used bought some 20mm self tapping button screws and the rest is history took all of 2hrs to do the lot its neat and tidy and no more stone chips for me.Oh i actually brought them out of the arch an inch so they over lap the tyre by about 20mm so no stones are getting past these babies.

Will get round to doing the backs when i design an alternative to fit them as there is nowhere to attach them unless you have some sort of nylex blocks to fasten too.

Nice work. I'm a bit of a backyard engineer myself.
