Genuine Mudflap Rivets
Hi all,

I managed to break the 3 rivets that hold the mudflap on whilst off-road. I can't for the life of me find the domed black rivets that hold the rubber to the frame. Are these available? I could use normal rivets, but will look daft mismatched.

I used a pack of bolts from B&Q with a plain screwdriver/10mm nuts and a dab of satin black paint. Wont corrode ever again. 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

Re: Genuine Mudflap Rivets
Yes, that is one option. I was also thinking plastic domed nut & bolts if the genuine rivets aren't available. I'll have to drill our the other side to match. Sad

It may not be of much help but I don't think the genuine rivets are black. I recently bought a set of OEM mudflaps and mine aren't black.

That's odd. Is it just a stainless rivet with some sort of penny washer?

Your crossmember and flaps have been painted over the top - the Torx bolt above the flap is not black from the factory.

Factory mudflap rivets are silver coloured (unlikely to be stainless)  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Thanks for confirming! The paint must fill the domed rivet somehow? They look very 'factory'.

Cheers,
Lund
