Instructions for Factory Mud Flaps Needed

Hi All:
Just took Deliv on a Clubman and bought the factory mud flaps front and rear. Need the instructions for putting them on. Any help would be great.
Thanks
Gary

HI,
You can find the instructions under the Moss Motors Vendor area. Just look for exterior parts for 2007 Minis. They are identical to the R56 model.

I bought some too and have to have someone put them on as the rear wheels have to be removed. Dealership was going to charge $150. They also charged me $121 for the set even though their parts department lists them at $100 total. They said the Clubman costs more. I told them they better change their site then.

Good luck!

Cloud10, when I arrived to pick up my Clubby, I was a little dismayed it didn't have the mudflaps I had ordered. My MA said I never oredered them and they haven't seen them anyway. I don't if I will get them now until I see one with them in person.

It seems like a lot of people picking up their new MINIs lately are hearing the same thing from MAs when something is not on their car as ordered. I was lucky that my MA checked with me at least 3 times to confirm the extras I ordered, areas to be covered with Ultrashield, percentage of back and front tints, mudflaps. I intended to have them installed there, but the cost was so out of line. I still think they are a good idea to prevent chipping behind the wheels and to keep some dirt away from the back area.
The back of the Clubman attracts tons of dirt. I use the California duster before I cover mine each day and I am amazed at the dirt under the rear wipers. We'll be ordering more Speed Shine too.
Once I get my flaps installed I'll post how well they do. I spent the $121 for them so I need to have them put on.

Lots of dirt on the back hatch or doors is a problem for hatchbacks / wagons. On my BMW wagon,which I'm trading for my Clubman, it's always the dirtiest part of the car by far. Must have something to do with the aerodynamics of the basic car shape, with that sharp drop-off at the rear.

Do a search on NAM, you will see the instructions for the R56 that you need.

I thought the rear flaps for the R55 (Clubman) would be different?

I am listening to the comments about dust accumulation on the rear. I heard the comments about the problem on hatchbacks and wagons. I had one of the first Dodge minivans and luckily included a rear washer and wiper because of the aerodynamics. That problem was overcome by addiing a lip to the top edge over the rear window and the top spoiler on the later models. The other side of the issue is the dust coming up from underneath? So do I add a top spoiler and a dust flap underneath like on my motorhome?

I have the mudflaps -

Quite a saga...

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=146157

However, now that they're on, I really like them. They DO help keep muck off the car and I think they look sharp - almost a mild aero-kit for the side

Will try to get a couple pix up soon...

The rear mudflaps on a clubman are very different from the R56 and go on much differently.

I do not have a scanner that works at home right now but I will scan the MINI directions and post them tomorrow after i get to work.

OOPS! Those are directions for the 1st gen Mini Cooper, not the R56. I just found that out when I tried to install my front mud flaps using those directions. Sorry for any confusion that caused.

Here are the proper instructions for the front mud flaps for a Clubman R55 and both front and rear of an coupe R56.

Here are the correct instructions for the rear of the Clubman R55
