I had to make some mud flaps last night to protect the front fender and mirrors. I know Doug has made some, I made some last night.

The RS3 tires on a +48 offset wheel were destroying my front fenders and mirrors with rock chips. I have only had these tires on for 2500 miles and I have over 20 chips on each fender. With no anticipation to drive slower, I needed to protect my paint before it was completely gone. WGI coming up next Monday, I wanted to get something done before that.

I made my mud flaps out of garden edging from home depot. $8 for a 20' roll. I made 2 and could probably easily make 12-14 more.

Must have mod for a sticky tire out front. I can post a pic later, but you can guess what it looks like.

Yup, made them many years ago
I call the debris winglets
Mine were made from large truck mudflaps
They have saved me from what could be hundreds of stone chips

Doug, how far below the body do they sit? I'm thinking of doing this now that my fenders have been repainted. The old mudflaps used to drag on the ground. Now that I'll be lowered with the eibachs, not sure how low these can be.

I set mine up so they don't hang any lower than the fender. They simply protect the face of the fenders, not underneath them.

That's the beauty, you are the designer, you make them hang as low as you want...

I dropped mine down about 2" below the rockerarm, this increases the distance of coverage down the rocker arm
I felt the farther down I made them the more coverage I would get

I wonder if this f'ing gallery works yet...

This is interesting. Some day the S will have sticky tires too, and it will help to have such a mod by then

Holy crap, I made these a million years ago, there are Bridgestones on my car....

Pics may not show it, but the winglets come out as wide as the tires

Triple-H

They have curled back a bit over the years
Someday I will update them
And make a set for the rear
Low priority for me at this point though
