Muddy Flaps
This just winds me up, poor quality paintwork on the metalwork that holds the mud flaps on. Stagering for a 6month 4k old Landy.

Should I demand them replaced by LR or will they just do the same in 6 months? Anyone else had the same?

Front ones are bad:

Rear ones are on their way:

it may not be a warranty covered item but any dealer who wants to keep a customer happy would change them i would of thought, even if they take the hit. Cheers

Why would being a farmer have anything to do with the price of fish?

Mudflap brackets are ok, just about to replace them with the Entreq extended ones, sidesteps and headlamp retaining rings, and front bumper were swapped out sometime ago for paint flaking! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Karlos buy a set of the Ring Chromed replacements, they too won't last forever but they were one of my first additions! Over two years later and they're like new still! There's a thread and a link to where you can get 'em somewhere! If you can't locate it I'll have a dig about myself!
