R56 R56 MCS Mudflaps
Does anyone have a picture of the front flaps on an '7 S? I'm thinking of putting on mud flaps also as I live on a dirt road. The pics of the rear ones looks really nice! But the fronts are more functional for keeping the car safe from mud/gravel/tar. The back ones will just give me somewhere to put my chrome naked man sillouette.

Good luck. I looked online and for some reason, all the Mini dealers are not showing them anymore. Let me know what you find out. I'd like to get a set also.
Those look pretty good. Hopefully they'll still be available once I finally make up my mind on options and order my MC (or maybe an MCS).
Update: Signs point to no (mudflaps). There's no sign of them in the online configurator anymore. *le sigh*

They are still there. They are the last item in STEP 5 ACCESSORIES: EXTERIOR STYLING. Scroll to the right. "Mud Flaps front and rear axle ($62)"
Curses! They are still there! And I was hoping that'd be one less option to lust for. I would think that if the dealer can't get them then you're out of luck no matter what the configurator says. Aren't they dealer installed, so it really wouldn't matter if it's a new build, eh?
Do these work with the Aero Kit?
I don't see any mention in the instructions one way or the other concerning the Aero Kit. Any one know if the standard mud flaps install the same on a MINI with the Aero Kit (not the JCW - the one in the Hyper kit).
Thanks!
Still waiting for my MINI to find a boat!

Just wanted to let everyone know that when I called the dealer they said the mud guards were on back order so they took them off the website. They are in now so you should start seeing them back up again.
I was also told, and did some looking, that the mud guards will fit on the Aero kits (JCW or OEM). The dealer said that if they didn't fit I could return them. I'm pretty sure they will work. If I get them, I'll do a write up with pics and let everyone know.

If you are selling them please make sure of the model they are going on. The R53 rear mud flaps will not work on a R56.
Also, the R56 MC and MCS rear flaps are different.
R56 rear mud flaps
Wow, thanks for the pdf instructions. AtlanticBritish failed to include instructions. I'll wait for a warmer day to install. Looks like a sweet pain in the ***. But I'm sure tired of the dirt accumulation on the rear, although it doesn't seem as bad on my 2007 as it was on my 2005 or 2002. btw, my lic plate is no longer 21jewls, it is BMWLITE, but it seems I cannot change my log-in here, because my email address has not changed. Regards, Steve in Bedford, NH.
Mud flaps F & R are definitely going on my R56 (sans Chrome hottie). There's just entirely too much spray of rocks/salt/etc for me with paint this soft, plus I kinda like how they look too.
Any fitment issues with these and the JCW Aero Kit?
Jeebus! $200 for the install? That's nuts. Hopefully my dealer will be a bit more reasonable (I'm thinking free install if they're already doing the Aero kit) or I'm going to have to DiY them.
