They needed a slight modification - one fixing hole was in the wrong place at the front, so a simple drill was all that was required, and I had to reduce the height of the spacers on the rear.

I think they look OK.

I've ordered a set, there're not cheap but if it sorts out the stone rash that's starting to form on the leading edge of the sills and rear bumper, then it will be more than worth it.

Nick, did you get these and if so how much fettling was required to get them to fit?

Cheers

Andy, the wheels will need to come off, but the whole process only took me over an hour to complete. The kit contains everything you need. The front stone flaps were the easiest to fit, but you will need a drill as I found the top 2 holes didn’t line up with the pre drilled holes on the flaps. I reused one of the old shorter plastic rivets to temporarily locate the flap in place so that I could mark the new locations for drilling. Removed flap and drilled 2 new holes, then refitted using the new slightly longer plastic rivets which are a perfect fit. Each of the rear stone flaps come supplied with 3 screws and 3 plastic collars which act as spacers. The plastic collars need to be measured and cut to size with a hacksaw, so measure twice and cut once! I will try and take a couple of photos of the rears when I clean the car tomorrow.
