<< Mudflaps >> I have a set of the mudflaps from South Africa which I got from The Bus Depot. They are great. They really protect the vehicle well, stay in place, and look good. Worth waiting for in my opinion. The ones for the older buses do not work as well, I bought them before I got the South African ones ! AND, I tried the Truck ones from the local FLAPS. NO GOOD ! Problem is to protect your Vans paint properly the mudflap needs to extend up and over the wheel arch. Turn your front wheel full lock and look see where the tire is and how the gravel/sand would be spewing off ! See what I mean ? The original VW ones and the South African ones are moulded to fit over the body at the wheel arch to keep stuff from being thrown from the wheel in ALL circumstances at your nice paint job ! If you don't have a nice paint job well then forget about the mudflaps all together. Eventually the area behind all four wheel s will eventually be nicely sandblasted and ready for new paint !
