Well, I got my mudflaps. A few things of note (Ron, you'll have to help me with some, I'll have to call for some others):

- The rear mudflaps came without any installation instructions or mounting screws. - The rear mudflaps white emblem is just like the emblem on the front mudflap, except it's painted white (but the paint bleeds off the edge, making the emblem a bit "fuzzy") - The rear mudflaps won't attach unless they are carved out some more on my '87 Westy GL. Is this normal? - The front mudflaps instructions were hard to read at best (a single hand drawn photocopied sheet (which says "Kombi or Caravelle" on it) - Both mudflaps will not stand vertically because the end of the wheel well sits diagonal instead or perpendicular to the ground.

Any ideas anyone? Did I get the wrong flaps?

A bientot,

Philippe
