V70: Body - Fitting mud flaps - Page 5

rickp78 · Jan 5th, 2013, 22:48

Maybe an odd idea, but has anyone ever tried if the rear flaps fit the front of the car? Reason I ask is that the rear ones are longer than the fronts and would offer more protection? Additional holes would need to be drilled of course, plus there could be a greater chance of them catching on the ground....Anyone ever tried this? Would try myself but would have to drill rivets out etc...

Cheers,

Richard

As it happens, i've got another V70 parked next to me today which isn't an R-Design, been having a good look at the rear bumpers and it appears that the R-Design sticks out further to the side that the normal bumper. Will have to have another look to see if it's lower as well.
