    Mudflap installation instructions?

    Anybody have a guide on mud flap installation on a late model E30? I bought the flaps brand new front and rear and they did come with hardware. Just trying to get an idea of where to begin!

    I would think it would be pretty self explanatory if you held them up to where they go.

    I know I saw an install guide somewhere, let me see if I can find it

    If you drive your e30 on stairs, you're gonna have a bad time.

      Those weird clamp/teeth looking things sandwich the inner fender lip and the mudflap itself when you tighten them down. It's kind of like one of those clamp/press things you use when you want to glue two things together.
      Place them where you feel necessary.

      It's a real stupid primitive design IMO, lol.

      Hand tighten the clamps then go at it with a small ratchet.

          The metal bar things are self explanatory iirc. One end has a bolt and screw to the flap, and other to the underbody of the car where it fits snug in a groove, which holds the flap tight.

          This probably makes no sense till you actually look at the car and flap lol
