Default Fitting mud flaps

Hi,

With all this wet weather we've been having recently the sides of my R-design are looking brown rather than Titanium Grey!

I've decided to get some front and rear mud flaps from the dealer, but they want to charge £100 to fit them. Looking at the fitting locations on the rears it seems that it's plastic to plastic so a few Volvo plastic rivets will do. Is it the same for the fronts? I've had a tap around the area of the lower wing, near the lower sill cover, and it sounds plastic too. My guess is that if I need to drill any new holes they will probably be into plastic, is that right?

Any thoughts would be appreciated, hopefully the mud flaps will be a Christmas present if I drop enough hints.....

Oh, and by the way, I've done almost 3k in my D5 R-design, and had none of the creaking and rattling that I hear some others have suffered...must remember to book it in for the 3k check...
