Rear Mud Flaps again
« on: April 27, 2022, 09:55:37 AM »

Sorry to ask but looking at past posts still not sure, whilst these pictured are not the "gold standard" mud laps worth mamy £'s I was told these were OE later mud flaps or are they cheap copies, I'm sure a expert here will know ???

I think you only get the Land Rover logo on the genuine ones now but I think there was a time when reproductions were made. I assume Land Rover later caught up with the reproduction companies and stopped them using the logo hence why you only find blank mudflaps now or ones with Britpart written on them.
there was a time when genuine ones had yellow letters too.

The earlier type mudflaps had the Land Rover text sunk into the surface of the rubber but they later went for raised letters. No idea when the change happened?

Nice to have though if you are going to use them and I'd call them genuine Land Rover items if I was going to sell them.
John Craddock sell them new for £50 though so if you were looking to retire on their sale you may be disappointed.

I may be wrong but they look exactly the same as mine right down to the rivets, I bought them from a Landrover garage over twenty five years ago so yours could be original or aftermarket at that time, mine had the yellow lettering. Recently they had started to crack along the line of rivets so I drilled out the rivets cut the bad bit off and refitted the angle so mine are an inch shorter now.

Mine are bolted on with stainless steel bolts and nuts.

Thank You,
I'll think if I should fit or sell, having got to the age when keeping them for future use is not a good option :shakeinghead
