rear cross member ends are weak , and agree about extra damage caused by light bump

nas rear step is better as it supports the end of the cross member

Dave,

thanks for letting me know about the possible problems....AFTER fitting them !

Confused Very Happy

well hopefully you're wrong. the whole idea for fitting these was to hopefully protect the body work but I see your point of view / perspective on this.

Hi Caterham
Did you have any probs with the rear mud flaps touching?
I've got a new set but would need spacers to bring them back from the rear flap.

Haha sorry caterham!

Let's not get it out of perspective, there's as many situations where they'll help too! And they do look good Thumbs Up

Probably just one of my OCD things twigged lookin at them from that angle! Cheers, David

Oopha!

In the light there does appear to be a slight mudflaps issue.

Yeah
I phoned the company thinking I was doing something wrong.
They were not very helpful.
Seems I was right.
Didn't fit them and there too heavy to post back. Had them for over a year and still in the box.
Hope yours are fitting better. Thumbs Up
