Body Coloured Mudflap~

Psycho3 · 12-09-2005, 08:00 PM

I just got installed it yesterday!
I thought black mudflap on Alpine white was little odd.
BMW dealer offered me $150 for installation alone without the paint job. So, I went to the bodyshop nearby and got it painted and installed for less than $80. I think it's is not a excellent job on the paint job, but hey $80 is hard to beat!

Nice. As an aside, have you thought about having your balancing weights placed on the inside so that they aren't visible? You have nice rims. Why clutter them up with ugly weights?

I've often wondered why BMW places the weigh on the outside. Only on the 16" I believe.

The mudflaps are 'A OK'.

Unpainted mudflaps work great with sparking graphite!

NO , my OEM 16's came with the inside stick on weights......

how much do those cut down on the dirt behind the rear tire.... the amount of dirt visable on my black e90 after only a day since it got cleaned is rediculous... i dont really like the way it looks, but i think it would be MUCH less noticable on black and i think the dirt it cutbacks would be great...

so does it cut back on that durt tho

oh~ I didn't, I paid $75 for the paint job and installation at local bodyshop. Bodyshop offered me $50 for paint job and $25 for the installation, so instead of me spending few hours installing it, I paid $25.
