I have a set of front and rears made from stuff called plasticard (eBay) fixed with Sticky Fixers (outdoor variety) - they are subtle and work a treat.

Any pics John?

Keep forgetting to take any. Will try tomorrow.

I actually cut them to shape before I realised that the '64 Turbo had front flaps available - they look exactly the same!

Great minds, hey. :-)

I would like to see some nice shots if possible John.

I have made small mudflaps (not for this car) before and have a 3mm black ABS plastic sheet for the job.

@ Russ if you get a chance how far do you need to have it extended out from the arch 10mm- 20mm? And also below the arch 30mm - 50mm?

They stick out 30mm and 40mm down, thats measured of the side of the sill cover and the bottom edge of sill cover.
Hope that helps.

Thanks Russ, I have started to make a template and should finish cutting them tomorrow. Once i pick up some torq head self tappers used for the undertray on the Audi it should be done. thanks again

Have a look at those 'Outdoor Sticky Fixers' - they are strong, but easy to remove and black, so they don't show even at the edges.

They're the ones.

They withstood 197mph on my GT3...

Just took some pics of mine.

Forgive the interloper! :-)

Will have a run out tomorrow to pick some up.

They look ok, and a lot cheaper.

JB, what have you backed the garage door with? Looking at making my garage (detached) a little warmer and less draughty.

John Boggiano

Ha ha! Bit of a tale there, Steve.

A box of garage door insulation came free with the DynoTiles that I did the floor with.

I could see there wasn't quite enough in one box to line the entire double door, but after I'd finished the floor I thought, 'Well this stuff has cost me nothing, I might as well try it and see what I think'.

It actually works pretty well - keeps the garage cool in summer and warm in winter and adds a lot to the light level inside. 'Okay,' I thought, 'I never would have considered using this stuff but now that I have I might as well order another box. I can't be expensive if they're giving a box away free'.

So I checked on DynoTiles' website and it's a hundred quid a box. So normally £200 for the job. I wouldn't have spent that much on it, and I wouldn't have bought the first box for £100, but this neat little marketing-via-unsolicited-freebie idea meant I did shell out for the second box. :-)

At half retail price it's worth it, I'd say.

If you decide to get some, BTW, two things -

1. I Have some left. If it's for a double door, it might be j-u-s-t enough to complete the job if you only ordered a single box for yourself.

2. You can get it cheaper (exactly the same box and all) on eBay. This is how I got me second box (and it's even from the same seller). About £80 IIRC.

Sorry for the O/T/

Unkle, looking again at that pack of sticky fixers from the Staples link - they look white. Mine have white peel-off but the pads are black. The packet looks identical, except for the pad colour in the little picture.
