WANTED OG Rear Mud Flaps

Hi Guys I'm after some rear mudflaps I've installed rubbish repro which are pants so if anyone has any og ones in good condition I'd be interested or at least better repro ones then I have

 

Do you have original fronts?
I ask coz Chips fronts have a raised profile around the edge.

For the rear I fitted Landrover Discovery 1 rear flaps to lhu1281's brackets.
The profiles match quite well. The flaps look better in the flesh as I've straightened them up from the original wonky fitting and sprayed the mounting brackets black to mask further wonk.

Been on since 2015 and cost less than 20 quid.
Just a thought if you struggle to get an OG set

 

Hi Mate nope only the rears but i like the idea of the landy ones , Thanks

 

Ive got OG brackets so i guess the Landy flaps will fit no problem ?

 

Mmm. @lhu1281 , are yours ss copies of the original design.?
( I always thought so, but best to check)
On this page @surreyvan there are some other pics of the flaps and brackets.

gold dust !!

 

there's a brand new pair on Facebook marketplace for £45

 

I've just bought a set of 4 of these:



They're as close as I could find to the OE style flaps, especially now VW has scared off all the usual suppliers from using the logo.

The supplier is based in Turkey but easy to order from. Must be under the radar of VW at present! They're not that cheap, a set of 4 with postage cost me Euro 110, so about £95. They also come with useless Beetle brackets, so you'll need to get the proper bus ones, but they're readily available.

The pictures on the site are slightly different, what you get is as shown above, not bad quality at all, the VW isn't quite right, but it's close enough for me.

 

Sarah...our flap mounting styles are different!
Who's are correct...if that's a thing


In fact it doesn't really matter does it, but it may sense to me for the steel mount to trap the flap behind the jacking point. They arent coming off anyway to change around haha

Edit, thinking about it, yours are more of an extension of the arch so I guess the chassis gets a bit more shielding from road muck?

 

Haha. Dunno. I took them off a scrapper in Albuquerque and they were fitted like that. The rubber was curved backwards like that. I assumed dealer fit.
Doesn't matter really.
The T3 ones sit behind the jacking points as well but they can't really go anywhere else coz of the design

 

Mmm. Now you mention it... I do recall.
We just do what we gotta do x

 

This picture found on the samba shows the fitment and it’s how I fitted mine . Both my front and rear flaps are genuine rears (correct part numbers ) I do have a pair of genuine front flaps and genuine brackets if anyone want to get their cheque book out but the Fronts never had the VW logo . Again correct part numbers . All mine on the van look ok from a distance but are 50 years old

That concurs with what I thought but didn't know for sure. I'm pretty sure our fronts are genuine and we know the rears are yours with Landy flaps. Nerdscope I'm afraid but some of the detail interests me

 

Don't want to upset you but I've got the same from the same guy the white turns a yellowy brown after a couple of months

 

Well further along the road a friend gave me a identical white pair as Baduras so I'm going with them I think , they are extremely good quality and look a bit different
