   im wanting to get some mudflaps and just wondering if anyone had any opinions on what would look good and bad
   i;ve been looking at the ones below, and im wanting to fit them on an unmodified furio
   i've heard that flaps look shit on a car thats not lowered, any opinions?
   thanks

   il have to admit i have them fitted all around but it goes with the theme/project im doing.
   
   if your saxo is standard then dont do it mate! if your goin for a full out rally look then yes maybe!

   i dont have any though! if i had the standard ones i wouldnt mind i just hate the look of my car from the back! looks so shit cos its not lowered and i dont have the money to lower it
   would lowering the rear 40mm and not doing the front look stupid? how much would it roughly cost to get that done and would it ever cause a problem with going over bumps and stuff?

    Burra's right, dont be so keen to modify ur car mate. save up and get it done right because bodge jobs cost more in the end! If i was you dont really focus on the looks of the car yet, you'll regret it, dont save up for mods on a slower car either, in my opinion you have to have a good engine fondation to work with b4 u modify ur car, id say saxos gti's etc are probably the base level... anything below that probably isnt worth it!

    probably...
    
    I naily took a sledgy to my saxo when i was trying to adjust the wing and i couldnt get the arch kit back on right... so i'd imagine if they use the push clips then yeah they will be a twating nightmare

    Nasty!!! I personally think you have to go with the rally look, i.e. wheels/brakes,suspension, all of this just for flaps to look good just isn't worth it!!!

    I dont mind mudflaps, most people on here hate them as you can see. At the end of the day its your car and you can make it look exactly how you want to.

    There not too bad, wouldn't buy a set though. Like some people said, go better with the rally look.
