Side Strakes Fitting
I am in the process of fitting the Side Strakes to my car,
having already fitted the Aeroscreen, CD Changer, Front Spoiler
& the Rear Spoiler.
I have been using the fitting instructions provided over the
internet. I'm a little stuck with what looks like the rear
mudflaps. I'm not sure whether I need to remove them or to keep
them on. The instructions make no mention of them.
So, if anyone has either fitted the side strakes themselves, or
had them fitted, can you possibly have a look at your car & let
me know if the rear 'mudflaps' have been removed or not.
Any assistance welcomed.
Thanks
Bharat

I fitted my own side strakes (thank goodness) after seeing some of the attempts made by dealers
the mud flap as you call it, I presume you mean the bit of rubber that hangs down to the front of the wheel arch under the sill is left ON, the two parts of the strakes if fitted correctly fit snuggly around it.

Thanks Biker1 - Finished fitting them this weekend.
The internet instructions need to be amended to say that they need to be removed to fit the bottom strake, & then refitted as the final item, prior to refitting the wheels.
What shall I tackle next ????
As my wife said - just go & drive the car !!!
Who am I to argue.
Regards
Bharat
