How are they fitted. Do they come with a fitting kit. Is it necessary to drill any holes or are the flaps and body pre drilled
No drilling holes, I was a bit worried about that when I got mine. They are held in snugly with the clamps provided...5 min per side install and genuine factory mud flaps. They can be removed leaving no trace of install.

Is yours a Transit Colin? If so that might be different to John's

@davetherave Dave...If see in your signature you have a transit based MH. You mentioned a couple of months back about getting a new Compass from Donaghey's.....Have you got it???

It’s an X250 Fiat (2014) so the ones Panda recommended should do the job

Hi Panda,
Your on the ball. I traded in the transit against the Compass which is based on the Peugeot Boxer. Love the Compass but miss the comfort and driving experience of the Ford. I will update my profile
My last campervan failed the DOE because it had no mudflaps

I have a campervan based on 2016 fiat ducato chassis. No mudflaps as standard and so I bought in a set of front and rear genuine fiat mudflaps on ebay. Pics attached. The front one fit quite nicely but there's a gap between the flap and the body of the camper(1st pic). The two retaining bolts are never going to hold it in tightly enough and over time you'll get a build up of mud etc that will cause rust. My plan is to use stainless steel self tappers and something like black MS-11 to get a good seal to prevent grime build up. Any views welcome - hope I'm not hi-hacking the thread!
The rears are far more interesting though. I had to send them back as they did not fit. Can't find anything other than original fiats on the market that fit the molded plastic wheel arch(maybe I got the wrong ones) so make your own I say. Difficult to make out on the last pic but the molded wheel arch is tapered and given that the clearance is only around 2cm you'd need to pull the mudflap back pretty sharpish if it's just a flat piece of rubber. That and the fact that if you ever reversed onto sometime - a kerb - you could do a nice bit of damage to your wheel arch if you grabbed the mudflap on the rotating wheel. All in all a challenge that I hope someone a bit smarter than me has overcome!!
