Thumbs up S2000 OE Mudflaps....

Been looking around trying to locate some body moulded mud flaps for the S but, no joy

Ive seen the ones that go infront of the back wheels but nothing to go behind the front and rear wheels??

Have you seen any?

Did a quick search on the topics and there is no mention unless i missed it?

I know.... but ive got a stone chip already.. only done 80 miles since full respray. Ive tried polishing then going over with resin to minimise this but still got teeny specs appearing by arches....
This is why i wanted to find oe ones,, found them for my MR2 Roadster and looked ok due to the fact they were body coloured and shaped.

I hate todays water based paints.... especially Black, i mean i Black sports cars and really dont mind washing and waxing twice a week if needed but, I can not believe how easy they scratch.

Its getting me really paranoid... cant park anywhere and if a cat so much as looks at my car.. GRRRRR (Cant say incase of animal lovers!)

Stone chips are a fact of life.

Drive your car, enjoy it, use it as it was intended.

I can fully appreciate where you are coming from but lifes to short...nothing, and I mean nothing would ever make me do anything as horrendous as fitting mudflaps to a S2000

Spot the mud flaps



Honda do not do OEM ones for the S2000, so I installed some cheap and cheerful ones from Halfords. They are not obtrusive at all, and to this day, despite LOTS of meets, no one has ever even noticed them! easy fit, using existing screws for front wheel arch liners.

P1 (using the car as it was intended, and protecting my investment too )
