rojariggs Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hi I got paid this week (we get paid in the middle of the month) so ordered a couple of bits for the Fiesta. I've ordered a set of four scuff plates and chroe trim for the grille. Will fit them and photo them at the weekend. What I can't decide on is two more items. I've been looking at the Boomerang front armrest and a set of mudflaps. The armrest looks smart but is pricey. The mudflaps make a lot of sense and are cheap but I don't know if they're a bit fuddy duddy? What do people think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I wouldn't be without my armrest now! Though I chose the cheaper £55 eBay one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmaldon Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I always fit mudflaps where I can. The SportKA doesnt take them and you can see what it does to the sills not having them. Its worth fitting them if you intend to keep the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny87 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I fitted some mudflaps to my Fiesta MK5 (much older than your car I know!) but at least now when I wash the bloomin' thing it stays clean on the sides for longer. I was sick to death of spending ages washing and polishing the car and then the first time I use it afterwards all my hardwork is pretty much undone. What made me decide was a stone chip and scrap up one of the doors, about 6 inches long. Must have been a massive stone, or more likely a rock :( I suppose now there's some protection to the lower front doors and outersills from stone (or rock) chips.

ONETrueSaturday Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I've been debating mudflaps for a while too mate..... My sides are always a total mess. Some people get some pics up pls? iNath? Or anyone else :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny87 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Darrell, they're worth getting mate. I would put a picture of mine up but all I have at the moment is my BB Curve and it's certainly a better phone than it is a camera!! Plus mine is a MK5 and old so it wouldn't be much use to compare :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
