Fitted mud flaps

boomish · Aug 4, 2023

Fitted some Mud flaps from AliExpress yesterday & doing our first long drive in our new(ish) MG5 today, where there are reports of a lot of rain expected on route. I bit fiddly to fit at first but very pleased once I worked out to replace the existing bolt with a new screw, which are a nice black Japan quality. Came with stickers of MG rather than printed on which was a bit disappointing but in the end we didn’t put them on as wasn’t sure about the look.

They should help protect the paintwork from splash damage.

Not only that they make the car look so much better, especially looking at the back of the car.

Fitted the same ones to my pre-FL about 6 months ago and they really help to reduce the amount of mud etc. down the sides of the car, stops most stones & tar from hitting the paintwork and they enhance the look of the car too.
Good choice.
ps, didn't apply the stickers either.

Just fitted the mud flaps to my HS. To be honest, I went to my local garage where it was possile to put the car on the lift and remove all the wheels at the same time. We replaced the screws that came with the kit and fitted square retaining clips behiond the new screws to make them more secure. Good fit and recommended.

That’s a great idea, I’ll have to add that on my to do list.

Mine are coming off. Looks like the screw fell away. Which replacement screw will fit? Any suggestions please.

This is what I used -
The screw for the sunken part of the front mudflap used was a No 10/4.8mm self tapping screw with length approx 1.25 inches. - you could get a slightly longer length if needed.

I found these on eBay when I was looking, you can just buy 2

(1 of pack quantity 2)

Just got my MG5 3 weeks ago and ordered mud flaps from aliexpress, everything seems ok when compare the pictures, but I can not manage to get the raised part to fit all the way in, how much force can I use? I really don't want to broke the car, within the first 100 miles. (borrowed your pic, red circle). Should I use a longer screw to force it in?
thanks.

Yes I think I used longer one, I used a few stainless steel ones I had at least as far as I remember.

Thank you very much, got a new screw from Bauhaus, still hard to get the "column" to fit all way in, 7-8mm gap. The upper hole fit perfectly.

Considering these for my car, does anyone have any full car images with these fitted to assess the look?

Thanks,

Ian

Not yet, my mud flaps are not from my MG dealer, they told me those are not available as original accessory. Mine came from aliexpress with text EI-5, I am not sure if the model matters, the only model in Sweden at this moment called Luxury long range.

Fitted MG ones on Saturday on my Trophy LR
74 plate the screws in the pack needed 2 slightly longer ones otherwise fitted ok
