Can you stand back and take a shot so we can get an idea what the whole package looks like? Looks like an interesting idea. I like the Rally look. Whats the $$ for these?

I will have better shots to come........These are the "basic" model for $45.00. They are flexible as oppsed to their other model which is very stiff and $100. Both come with very high quality mounting hardware. Rally Armor wrote me back and told me they have a lot of Mini customers. I can only hope they develop a kit for Minis.
Sweet. I have to order a set for winter. I've been wanting rally mudflaps ever since the MINI accessory ones got destroyed last winter because of backing through deep snow.
Thanks for the Mini Pic. How was the install? I watched the video, but it looked very Subie specific. If the install isn't too bad I think I'll get a set. I like that look from the rear.

I assume the install is rather straight forward?
The install involves a lot of modifications. You can utilize a few of the pre-drilled holes but the rest is custom. You will also need to trim the plastic clips that come with the kit as well....Good luck!
I run a soft urethane units on my car... They hold up well to gravel spray... The HPDE flaps I had before ripped of or cracked whislt at Sno drift in the zero degree temps...I keep them close to the ground... The bottom of my car is covered with 1/4" HDPE sheet to protect against gravel spray...
I added a factory rear hatch spoiler of sorts on my Cherokee, specifically as an attempt to keep the rear hatch from getting excessively dirty. I was actually quite surprised to see that it actually did work! It probably diverts air flowing over the roof to pass over the rear window/hatch, which blows the dirt off rather than allowing it to collect.
It seems that the MCS spoiler makes the problem worse. I wonder if the spoilerless MINI One in Europe has the same issue with grime on the hatch?

I assumed I'd have to drill and punch holes, but I was worried I'd have to cut the mudflaps to make a nice fit and risk an uneven, lopsided look.
It will be easier than my original plan, which was to buy sheets of polyeurithane and to cut them into mudflaps and punch holes for mounting hardware.
I pre-fit them to the car and took a lot of measurements using reference points. Once you know where to drill on the flap for one side you just double up the flap so the holes are in the same place on each left and right flap. The tricky part is drilling the holes in the car so they are even on both sides.
I always heard that drilling polyurethane was a futile activity. For that reason, I bought a leather punch that would work at a garage sale pending this mod.
