They do look good. It's worth noting that the cost of the Gwyn Lewis kits to replicate that would be around £120, so not too different if you don't want to do your own cutting, measuring and material sourcing.

The 110 rear mudflap kit is much more expensive but that does include a lot of purpose made galvanised hardware.

Either way, it's a great way to protect those areas of the chassis that otherwise get shot blasted by the spray from the wheels. Darren

Indeed, like for like the GL ones will be less faff as it does take a while measure, cut, fit, remove, cut, refit etc. to get it right.

I wanted ones that covered slightly more in certain areas than the GL offerings though, so this was the best way of achieving that.

Yes I noted that your custom version has added coverage 👍

Also sometimes there is a satisfaction in doing things yourself.

Nice one Ian!

Thanks for sharing, which ever way you go: commercial product or DIY these products offer good protection to the Landie

Extremely pleased I bought my bits

Just one to fit tomorrow, hope its not another four hour job!

Fitting the rear shields to a 100 with rear seats is a real PITA. There are extra seat belt anchorage brackets that get in the way and the bolts are usually seized.

That's why they come in two parts, so you don't have to remove the bracket to fit the mud shields.
I made them myself, too, by the way
