My wife ordered hers from Moss Mini. They were not too bad to install, but did take a couple of hours. They would go a lot faster the second time!

I believe the mud guards available at most places are OEM parts. I haven't seen any non-MINI brand mud guards.

I installed mine because I didn't want to pay the dealership $150 per hour to do it. Not hard. Best to put the car on jack stands and remove the wheels. That means you should have a torque wrench so you can re-torque the lug bolts to 103 ft-lbs.
