Hey,
Jesus. Christ. I bought 4 mudflaps yesterday. The back ones went on in 5 minutes at the very most but I couldn't get the front ones on in 2 hours.
Has anyone fitted these? how the crap to they go on!?
(i looked at the diagram, not much help... thanks vauxhall!)

Open the clamp as much as you can and twat it until it slides over the arch is how i did it  Then just tighten it up
IIRC the top on only just lightly fits onto the arch which is why i recall doing them as tight as possible

The clips got worn quite early on mine.
Used self tappers to cure the problem

ok, heres what I did.
I clamped the top ones on each flap to the arch directly by cutting the holes like it said in the intructions.
On the bottom ones though it wouldnt fit so i fucked it off and just clamped them right onto the arch... (they both feel firm....  ) ahem.
You think i get some self-tapping screws?
You think this is ok?
