D4 Oversize Mud Flaps

[Lanceanot]

I saw these oversized mud flaps on a D3 in Adelaide and I've been unable to find a supplier.
Can anyone here tell me if / where I can get a set of these to suit a D4, rear wheels only?

Try Opposite Lock in Adelaide - I think they will help you.

My D3 runs these same mudflaps...well it used too have the complete mudflap!

The first slight drop off snaped the extension from the rest of the mudflap. The track was not particularly tricky or have any ledges or rocks. Smashed them both in less than 2 hours!

Those are OEM mudflaps and as has been said they get damaged easily. I cut mine back and extended them with some rubber, flex now and work well.

The new mudflaps for D4 are a little smaller than D3 ones Didn't stop me from breaking them a bit though. They're still hanging on though but I might make up some rubber ones before next desert trip.

Problem is what they make them from; recycled rubber in plastic I think?
Cracks too easily.
The way I did it attaches rubber to the original and keeps it away from the wheel.
You can just attach rubber ones to the inside of the wheel arch but they can get caught when reversing.

Thanks to all.

I'm now thinking to scrap that idea and go for making up my own out of insertion rubber.

I currently get mud / stones hitting the van as the spats are too small in height and width. There is clear gap from the contact point of the tyre that allows debris to go over the stone stomper

The original D3 mud flaps even though they are much bigger than D4 ones didn't stop stones and muck from hitting the front of our van.
