I was hoping to stop some of the dirt that my side skirts appear to pick up!

[BennyDunks]

Anyones else's instructions says they are for an E38 7 series :

Never fear, they fit really nice!

Hmmm. Not sure the splash guards really stop that much

Jesus you been off-roading 😂

BennyDunks that was a 330 miler - probably the M6 responsible for all that sh*t and boy was it stuck on.

Just had a service done and they’ve apparently did the recall re the new type pins, even with my flaps on......

[a.summers86]

For anyone interested attached is the old rivet vs the new rivet for the recall on the wheel arch lining.

New rivet is a lot bigger and requires a rivet gun to fix in position. Old one is the simple push type. Part number on the bag if anyone needs any in the future. I've now got 10 spare at least if I ever need to take the mud guards off.

Just got a set of these off ebay and was thinking about installing them. I was wondering if they might rub against the paintwork and damage it. How securely held are these thing when they're on - could they move at all when in use? I was thinking maybe a but of protection film might be needed where the edges touch the paintwork.

No movement on mine whatsoever.

You would be hard pressed to not assume they were oem.

Hi folks

Is anyone able to confirm if the mud flaps will fit the LCI G21 ?

I wouldn't have thought there would be any difference in bodyshape at the point of contact , but then again 🤷*♂️

Thread resurrection to ask a query about these, which was already mentioned by thescouselander.

I recall my OEM F31 mudflaps had a double sided foam tape (with red backing so likely 3M or similar) around the trailing vertical edge of the flap, presumably to stop them moving once fitted and rubbing on the paintwork.

Do these ebay or Amazon flaps have this? I'm sure Toolstation do a similar narrow foam tape so I'd probably use that if they come with nothing fitted

They don’t have any tape etc fitted to them. Would be easy enough to retrofit thought.

Thanks for confirming 👍

How important is it to put on mounting tape? I know you don't want the mudflaps rubbing against the paint, but that mounting tape will get nasty and mouldy over time.

More importantly, I got the rears on because it's simply hex screws. The fronts are impossible on my 330i xDrive M-Sport. I tried pushing through the middle, but they are very tight and I'm worried about breaking something.

I now realize the rivets are the new kind. See photo. Anyone know the part number? I'm done ordering off ebay.

I guess if I just somehow sawed it off and then got a new rivet, that would be an option?

Wonder if anyone has this information - I saw the earlier post with a bag with a number on but this doesn't seem to be recognised in an online search though haven't yet contacted a dealer to ask?

Thanks in advance.

I bought mine for here: (ordered a couple of spare in case I botched one)

IMHO they look like they came with the car and definatley help keep it clean - especially with spacers fitted.

[DailyXDriver]

Perfect thanks for the info! 😊

Now that I have replaced that with a G20 LCI I wanted to install them again.

digitalatlas As you mentioned, the rivets are a new style. Did you manage to remove them easily?

I am thinking even if I can't remove them I can at least just install the rear ones....

[Bianchi Dave]

I actually removed mine a while ago and replaced with these for a far cleaner side on look -

Probably a bit more protection too, especially at the rear as they stick out a tiny bit further than the rubber mud flaps.

20% off for BF just now too..

I have the AP Designs splash guards in ABS, Front and Rear, they are OK, but I feel that the fronts in partiicular do not offer as much protection as they could, since they round off so much around the sills.

I've been working on my own, similar version in CAD, but I'm struggling to find double sided High Gloss ABS plastic to make them with.

I may have to make them from carbon sheet instead, but that has it's own issues.

Here is the front(s), still needs a bit of work though.

--just an update. I have spoken to my detailer and he said so far he has not found a way to remove the front rivets.. So I have left this project alone...
