so i was bored today , and decided to upgrade the stock MINI mud flaps. I used upgrade since my 17" wheels with +40 offset and 225 width tires are bit too large for my wheel arches/wells. I flared out my rear quarter panels a bit but that made that nasty gap between the edge of the tire and the edge of the stock mini mud flap even bigger. Somehow our bumpers are kind of sucked in right at the section where mud flaps are installed and these mud flaps are so small that they dont entirely cover bigger tires. So, with rally idea in mind i decided to go ......Rally! Heres a finished product. Enjoy!

 

 

So what did you use to make the new mud flaps?

 

As with schatzy62, I NEED to know what material you used to make those. I really want rally style flaps on mine

 

universal pickup truck/offroad mud flap material at your local auto parts store. they are really big, just make a stencil and cut it out

 

Looks good man! Reminds me of the Rally Armor flaps I had on the STi! Too bad they don't make them for the MINI, they'd look bad ***!

 

Turns our Rally Armor makes universal flaps for those that don't want the DIY and have $100 to spend on flaps

thats where i got the idea from 05 STi...

 

I am actually having those universal rally armors shipped out right now. I should get them next week. I'll put up some pictures

 

Continue on and do the front too. +1 million interwebz for being the first and hopefully it catches on because it looks awesome.

 

yup! my plan is to do all 4. After this project, its on to rally lights

 

Nice! It certainly does change the appearance of the car. Looks really good man!

 

Any pics yet??

 

you'll have them this weekend. as soon as I got them on, the car was definitely not in "show" condition. this weekend

 

Awesome, can't wait to see it!

 

I ended up not taking my car on a trip this weekend where I was going to have a mini photo shoot (pun intended) but I will post up some pics either today or tomorrow. school seems to be getting in the way of my mini-ing

 

Sweet, can't wait to see it!!

 

From the pic of the Rally Armor flaps, the top outside corner cuts back in towards the car at a 45 degree angle... I'd consider duplicating that on the DIY flaps to soften the edge a bit - not feeling the corner just sticking out where they stop at the top of the wheel well. Kudos, though, for potentially starting a new styling trend!

 

 

the mud flaps work, notice how dirty they are compared to the side of the car :D

 

How about the back of your MINI is it cleaner?

 

maybe slightly, more of the difference is on the sides.

 

looks sick with the overall look of the car
