QikSmurf Member 246 Member For: 21y 5m 18d Posted 20/08/10 08:39 AM Share Posted 20/08/10 08:39 AM They painted mine under warranty. I took them off and left them off when I took it in.All I can do is try. Might give Metro a go since I have found them helpful in the past.What about those splash plates behind the wheels? Taken mine out and you can see a lot of emptiness behind the rear wheels now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine arrives this week . . Edited 21/08/10 03:08 PM by O Trader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob666 Member 62 Member For: 14y 5m 18d Posted 24/08/10 09:27 AM Share Posted 24/08/10 09:27 AM Pretty sure it's factory. I'm taking my car back to the dealer to get them removed. They also need to fix up a paint chip on the tub and the hard lid won't lock... Going great! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockafellqeinstien Member 325 Member For: 16y 5m 7d Posted 25/08/10 12:56 AM Share Posted 25/08/10 12:56 AM What is it with ford falcon rear mudflaps. Ever since the ED falcons they seem total crapola. They sag and wobble about on both sedans and utes - and the paint issue is bad and me thinks it will cost ford a few bucks.Why can they just go with normal flat flaps like on the comodore that dont extend back like the spats do.Might have to take a picture of mine and send a love letter to ford. They can build one of the altime best engines but can do a decent mudflap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rears are going to stay but I think I need to find a way to secure them alot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnie89 Member 58 Member For: 14y 6m 18d Posted 17/10/10 11:24 AM Share Posted 17/10/10 11:24 AM I got mine taken off with the 15k service and there is some light marks but I think a cut and polish should do the trick when I get it detailed. Also with the badges, I wouldn't dare bring a screwdriver near my precious ute..I debadged mine by using a hair dryer to heat it up, then some floss to cut behind it like a sawing motion which comes off easy as. Then some grease and tar remover rubs the glue right off and is fine on the paints, lastly I polished the spot with some bug and tar remover and they came up lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw my ute coming off the truck, from melbourne and they were on it. I like the mud flaps that ford supply. I even bought some and put them on the front. I spose you have to make the choice, stone chipped, marks on the paint under the mudflaps, or flat trailer mudflasp. My choice was the Ford Flaps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
