i got the garage to fit mine when they fitted my lowering springs, to me it looks like the screws are almost placed randomly! how many screws do you have per mud flap? i had 3 but used 4 on each one to make sure it wasnt flapping arround (excuse the pun)

Drill 4 holes through the mud flaps into the bodywork and put some self tapping screws in the holes.

Job done 15 mins work mate.

do i actually need to drill holes in the body work? or will the self tapping screws just screw straight in?

i didnt bother drilling any holes in the mudflap or chassis i just measured them up, offered them up then just put the self tappers straight in. . . no need to drill with self tappers
