As for my mudflaps I personally installed them on my '09MCa and had the Dealership install them on my '011MCSa. I had trouble getting the driver rear to adhere to the black wheel arch trim, and so did the Dealership on my 2011MCSa and they tried twice! I ended up taking it back off my 2009MCa and replacing their doublesided sticky tape with some 3M of the same size but the thing that made the difference IMHO is that I used Acetone to clean the wheel arch where the tape contacts the mudflap and that worked. I need to redo the Dealership attempt on my 2011MCSa since that is way easier than driving 150 miles RT to have them "Try again".
I love the mudflaps, especially the fronts since they seem to do the most to keep the body clean. The rears might keep the hatch a bit cleaner, maybe... Check out my web site for the 2011MCSa photos and Mods and the Mudflaps are clearly shown. http://www.mini4fun.info/2011_MCSa/Photos_%26_MODS.html
Here's some pictures of my mudflaps, I too was on the fence about them, but decided just to go for it.
I'd do anything to help keep my car clean and happy!
I think I'm going to have to get some of those, they look pretty good. Be nice to keep some of the crud off the boot and sides. Thanks for the pictures! Oh and thanks for the info SMOG

Seems like everyone wants a 13 in their number. Wonder if I could put mine on eBay. Seriously though, would it be any trouble to change my number from 013 to 343? Thanks!
