Great - no metal to drill on the Dynamic too. For a "new" car there are some nasty marks on the wheel spoke you can see.

He's a bit of a bodger!
I would remove the wheel for ease of access and do a better job cutting out the hole for the speednut. Finally, that wrench thing he uses for the clip will mark both ends, so I would use a block of wood and a soft faced hammer to get it started, then a G-Clamp to tighten. He did it in 8 minutes or so, I'd prefer to take longer to do it right.
I agree the marks look bad but maybe they are just drying marks from hard water, don't know.

Id not seen this post until just now as i was going to make a new post.
I fitted both front and rear flaps to my Dynamic today with no real problems, i took a lot longer than he did and i fitted as landrover showed in the bad instructions they give lol. Though i think done possibily a little neater than he did the cut out for the clip he made in the video is a lot easer than making a hole as landrover adivse you do.
The fit is real nice as some of you will see on your own mud flaps.
Basiclly if you want to fit the front or rears on a Dynamic its not a bad job to do and well worth a go. im told the Pures are a little different but ive not peorsonally seen the difference in the two cars mud flaps yet.

It really looks like the vertical plastic panel that has the 2 bolt holes in it needs to come off.. The mudflap doesnt sit over it nicely, they look like theyre the same size. There should atleast be some doublesided tape there... looks bodge

I would have thought the mud flaps would have been flat facing the wheel offering better run off, they look like your going to get stones and mud lodged in the recesses. Don't know if I like them, I would ask if they are geniune LR parts if there is an extra plate to add infront to make it flat or is there a 3rd party offering bigger and higher mud flaps?

Having been unable to find anything better i bought a full set of mudflaps but they have changed the fitting, you have to drill a whole underneath now instead of the side and put a nut on the outside, I will have to get the car on a ramp do it in the mean time have used super glue for that bit would prefer the mechanical fixing but it seems impossible to get a spanner in and under they car the outside if the fixing.
