Title: Genuine mudflaps where for best price?
Post by: alij100 on February 5, 2015, 13:45
Looking to get a full set of genuine Toyota mud flaps for my preface 2 and the only place Iv found them is a dealer wanting £161 for a full set. Just wondering if any of you guys know of anywhere cheaper or this the going rate?

Tried emailing a few guys breaking 2's on eBay   And can clearly see they have  the mudflaps on the car but I get no response from any of them. I'm guessing they think that maybe there a worthless part and can't be bothered to sell them   s:? :? s:?  

any advice would be welcome thank you.

US price is £50 higher.  Sounds like you have a good dealer price.

Apologies got the price wrong ( now edited ) burrows Toyota want £161! Cheapest Iv found so far. Wouldn't mind second hand ones either.

Used ones sometimes come up on here, often around £50 or so.

Does anyone know if the mud flaps were colour coded on the preface lift models?

They are black on my PFL although apparently I am missing some of them.

Surely mud colour is the best colour for mud flaps as then they are doing their job  s;) ;) s;)

MUD on my car! Never!   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:    It's going to be a bit of a garage queen mine so only venture out on dry days   s:D :D s:D  
Plan is to fully restore it and keep it completely OM and then keep it long term

Completely mod free?
Oh the shame!
You need a nice supercharged V6 in that engine bay  s;) ;) s;)

I hope your using the 2 bucket method to keep yours clean. JK gets the right hump if you don't  s;) ;) s;)
I prefer the Kosovo Albanian method myself.

 s:lol: :lol: s:lol:    Yes mod free!   s:flame: :flame: s:flame:  

Washing it I normally hose it down first then use hot soapy water then a micro fibre wipe dry   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  
Also when washing it I spray the hose round the inner arches to stop any dirt building up in the arches sills etc.
Don't do mud or if I'm going somewhere and come across a muddy road I normally slow right down or drive round it!    s:cry: :cry: s:cry:

I have (I think O/S) mudflaps which I bought once without realising it wasn't the full set (  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  ), if you could find the N/S ones might be of use  s:) :) s:)

Thank you for the offer but it maybe hard just to get the n/s ones as Iv only seen them for sale either fronts or rears and don't think anyone would want to just sell me just a n/s one.
