MI Mud guards on s5

I need to know if anyone has experience with the mud guards on an s5? I have a set I bought a long time ago and want to get them installed but the parts list for installation are rather hard to come by. Any help would be much appreciated.

The mudguards will work on all fc's, S4 or S5.



I have the fronts too, but I removed them because cones keep knocking them loose.

Use the little bracket and screw as insurance if the double sided moulding tape fails. If you can source the little clamps, those are also useful as well.

Here's a real s5, courtesy of Greg (Turbo II):

Any body shop should be able to instal them, but why do you want to make an FC look lika a truck?

They'd probably come in handy if you do a lot of driving on gravel roads because of the way they wrap around the fender. That's one of the first places a lot of FCs begin to rust because that area takes a fair amount of abuse from kicked up stones and debris. Agreed that they don't really do anything for the looks of the car though.

I like the way that they make the rear of the car "appear" to be lower to the ground. I also just like the look of them on other cars and I think they would be sick on mine.

I don't have any of the installation hardware for them so this is difficult to use the mounting brackets.

lol

I take that back I have one of the mounting brackets the one that holds it to the inside of the wheel well... am a little affraid to drill the whole in it but I think with the right prep I can make it rust free in the future.
