LR Mud Flap fitting instructions

There are two styles of mudflap available for the Evoque according to the JLR TOPix website - Sport style and Standard. This link takes you to the title page where you can select which type you are going to fit http://topix.landrover.jlrext.com/topix/...&cat=OWNER

As far as the holes that are drilled for the fixings of the mudflaps, does anyone know if any of these go through a steel panel, or are they all through plastic? (bumpers etc.). I would'nt imagine that they would, it's a scary thought tho!

I think they go through the end of the plastic sill, so that if you make a horlicks of it, it's not TOO expensive to fix. As always, it's a case of measure twice and cut once and I'd recommend a sideways cutting bit which fits in a cordless drill and allows you to cut out the precise hole required. Much better than hacking away with a Stanley knife. I expect the plastic is quite easy to cut.

When I do mine, I will also take off the wheels to provide better access.

I remember a couple of weeks ago someone posting a video (youtube) on here showing how to do it. Didn't seem too difficult. Cheers YT

I've always requested dealer fitted mud flaps as part of the deal for previous cars. I guess I've overlooked it this time (wonder what else). But surely it can't be too much more to have them fitted. Any idea of the additional cost? Thanks

Official quotes from dealers around £220 but its dealer fit so room for negotiation, job looked easy and just parts about £70 from duckworths on this site if I remember correctly
