V50 Mudflaps

bunnerscj · Aug 11th, 2012, 10:11

Hi all, other than over the Counter of my local dealership, can anyone get Mudflap kits for a 55 V50.
Volvo Eastbourne want £71 front and rear. Ebay are all rubbish cheapo not main dealer ones except one company which are a Volvo dealer and again want £71.00

Anyone ?
Thanks

Don't forget that if you've got a V50 with the front and rear diffusers and side skirts, ie Sport model, they won't fit anyway.

Have you tried FRF Motors? They offer Forum members a good discount on new items.

Not R design so just standard SE V50.

Thanks for headsup on FRF, anyone on here from FRF Motors ?

Click on this LINKY! and it will take you to Rufe (member and worker at FRF), have a look at post #537 and you will have all the info you need to be able to give them a call. They are always really nice and helpful with some great discounts on parts.

£71. That's a lot. they used to be £50 for a set of front and back a few years ago.

Havre you tried any other dealer eg Macnaughton Ross at Ticehurst, or Hildenborough.

They will if possible do a deal I'm sure.

Not a great fan of Caffyns Eastbourne they charge for evreything and didn't have a great experience of buying a car there.

I'd recommend Tice Hurst every time.

I thought £71 was a lot - new to Volvo so no experience of dealers etc. Hoping the FRF can do something better than my local lot !

Also try Truro Motor Company as they give a discount to Forum members too.

Just pay the £71 at the main dealer! It's only the same as a tank of fuel and the mudflaps will last longer! It cost double that on my XC90, but that included fitting too.

Got them from FRF, £66 Posted so saved £5 over local Eastbourne dealer....not a fortune but it all counts lol

I was lucky and got a 2nd hand set of here for my 2005 S40, be aware to get the bolts out the wheel wells to attach the mudflaps on the S40 I had to take the wheels off was a right pain in the arse!!, but in the recent heavy rain on the motorway I notice the flaps had greatly reduced the amount of spray given off by the car.... and they look kind of cool
