I've been contemplating the mud flaps as an eventual DIY upgrade myself if I saw the thing kicked a lot of crud up itself... and it sounds like it does. I did the same thing with my Ridgeline, but they look good on a truck. Wonder how they look on a MCS tho
I have them - expensive but worth it. Mini installed.:xNow I know they're not sexy but I think I need them ! The amount of dirt this car kicks up over the doors and boot is unbelievable. Has anyone else fitted them and is it a DIY job ?
if you do a search for "mud flaps" on this forum, there is a thread that contains a series of pics of fitted flaps.
I tried to put a link up for it, but failed.
Thanks!@johnan......here, let me help you with that link to the photos of mudflaps and installation.

I have them, and I would not even consider only putting rears on, the fronts do actually reduce crap up the doors.Those do look good. Not so sure how effective the fronts would be, but the rears look good and look effective. I'll probably get a set. As for it being a wheels-off installation... challenge accepted! And the price is reasonable... $46.95 on Outmotoring.com
My hands are bigger than a 5yr olds hands, and I'm not double jointed so I took the back wheels off. I still swore, a lot. >Hmmm well, can't argue with success. But I'm still getting them on without taking the wheel off heh
I can't imagine the arches would be any different on the F55, I'm sure the friendly parts man in your local friendly dealer should be able to advise. If you need a hand with fitting I just take milk in my coffeedoes anyone know if they're the same for the F55?

I just reconfigured my car on MiniMania to an F55 and the message popped up that the mud flaps would not fit the car. I searched for F55 mud flaps and came up empty on the site. I don't knnow if they just aren't caught up with the times or if they really don't fit. My search for F55 flaps is coming up empty, so you might want to check carefully.does anyone know if they're the same for the F55?
Meh, cursing is compuslory and I'm used to dealing with terrible designs and parts jammed in impossible places on our Zambonis at work, so I've got tools and techniques for that... and I don't have unusually large hands, but I'm a goalie, so flexibility is one of the tools in my... wait... what are you implying about my hands!My hands are bigger than a 5yr olds hands, and I'm not double jointed so I took the back wheels off.
