Random question alert.

Has anyone put mudflaps on their Ellie? Can you get them? Do they look rubbish?

From memory our Rider doesn't have them, just had a look at the paperwork we had from the garage when it was on the boat, can't see them on the pics.
Just had a look outside through the window, can't see them but it is dark.
I know when we had used the car for a couple of days after we picked it up and the garage had put their tyre-shine on it ended up on the bodywork so I am again thinking 'nope we don't have them'

Having said that, we probably do have them, lol.
 
They are moulded to fit so probably an option, but iv'e seen many elgrands with them on wether with or without skirts etc (you know what the Elgrand option list is like---never ending)

Yeah there are a 'few bits' you can get for these cars lol.

Not to worry I'll get the Husband to bolt on some big black rubber ones from Flea Bay. It'll be fine.

Joke, everyone, don't panic. :joy:
 
Really need to stop treating the van but hey ho🤪

I now have a large pile of parts in dining room will get around to sorting it all out soon when I have time.

I have been after a set of these for ever but hens teeth and rocking horse poo comes to mind. But a very nice member on here has donated a pair of E50 flaps which I am converting to fit an E51. Once the plugs are made I will be making moulds of these to produce fibreglass replicas. If all goes well and I am pleased with the result I should be able to produce front and rear sets for members who would like them. They would be for the standard body no side skirts or big bumpers.

Oooo I have hens teeth :cool:
Think they could have been a little longer myself---might even add a flap across the bottom at some point

How much longer could they be without them looking out of place as I can adjust the plug before casting a mould.
 
Don't really know,it's just a personal thought------don't know if you could go much further with the mould as they are solid and could catch on some elgrands (if lower than my standard one)
I just thought of adding an extension to mine such as a strip (flexible) with Nissan or Elgrand etc written on them (would simply take them off if didn't look good ,just need to think of how to fix them etc

Nice one @Simon58 I've been told I have to wait for Father Christmas to bring me one! lol
 
Well I finished fitting the extra in-line transmission oil cooler today. started it yesterday but had a 'Exxon Valdeez ' disaster, so needed to go and get quite a bit of new oil, finished up giving the box an oil change, thought I might as well as most of it was spread across my drive. All done now and leak free.
