Splash Guard aka Mud Flaps advice sought

752002 · 11-19-2023, 09:28 AM

If you have them: which ones did you get and would you get them again?

Any issues in fastening them to your car?

Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

Running the TLG ones from Kies Motorsports right now. Fitment is off IMO but they work for now. I think rcouchh is running a different set from Auto Passions or something along those lines.

BMW DIY Guy · 11-23-2023, 03:33 PM

Ditto on TLG from Kies, as I have them as well. I will be installing very soon.

Looking to order these if I can find a sale.

I have a set, they are the same as the Automotive Passion, I took them off. They don’t fit the rear wheel arch well. Big gap.
I’m working with Automotive passion on a solution. Will re install them and take pics. But basically the carbon isn’t bending enough to follow th curve.

Any idea if the ABS version will have the same issue?

Not sure to be honest

I just installed the TLG mudflaps, while mud flaps are not the most glamours mod I have no problem with fitment or look on my set.

DrewNewM2 · 12-03-2023, 10:29 AM

Im waiting on my TLG mudflaps from KIEs. Ordered about a week ago. Should have my car next week so I hope I get them before my car so I can install right away

Do you happen to have pics of where the gap(s) is(are)?
I have a set ready to go on and if there are gaps, then I wont even try

Did you remove your rear wheel.

No, I did not, I used a bit ratchet to do it.

Lucky, I wasn't able to get something between the screw head and the tire.

Also interested in buying a mud flap for my M2. Just curious, I understand that front mud flap is to protect the rear fender, but what is the purpose of installing the rear mud flaps?

Similar reason really. The rear flap will help keep the road debris from chewing up the lower bumper/fender.

Would you happen to be able to recommend a bit rachet you used, I'm hoping to install it on the rear but I don't want to take the wheel off or jack it up. I'm guessing it's doable with just the bit rachet with some finess?

Was your car lowered, as I have tried a couple rachets and everything is to big.

Hey check these CF guards out from BAN_MC2.
Easy insrall. Nice product. Great member.
Put them on a week ago. I can send pics if interested.
I have no gap between fender arch and CF mud guard.

Thanks! Can you share some pics for us to see the fitment? (I want to make sure the gap issue was resolved)

islandfalconer · 03-30-2024, 11:32 AM

So late to reply.
After working with AP they resolved the gap issue by supplying new spacers. I added some 3M adhesive tape between the flap and the bumper.

Excuse the road grime
