Only fitted OEM ones - the front ones are awkward to say the least.

Have you searched you tube ? Jules

Bought Bearmach front mudflaps when I had previously had Powerful, the did not come with any brackets but the righthand one fits perfectly whilst the left hand one has the bottom hole spacing about 1 inch out with no place to securethe bottom of the mudflap
Any one on board who has experienced this problem or can give advice on hoe to secure ?

It is almost 4 years since I put them on the car. They were copies are the rear ones broke. The rear ones I have replaced with originals & also bought a spare rear set, so far they have lasted. The front ones were cut correctly & fitted without any modifications but I did replace all the screws with stainless & a bit heavier screws & short enough so they wouldn't scratch bodywork, as the supplied screws were crap, too light weight. Also put some very large SS washers where possible to spread load. I'll post some photos tomorrow. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

You have to pull off the small bit of white (my car) body panel. Then from memory the small piece of white panel unclips with a bit of a tug, to put on the bracket for the mud flap. There is a video somewhere on here which l looked at first which was very helpful.

Not sure which ones I bought for my last FL2, but they had brackets that were different on each side of car.

I looked up the video



Not sure this help with non bracket fixing. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

IanMetro - sound like the genuine front ones I fitted. The supporting brackets were handed and not symmetrical, and one required a bit of plastic trim to be cut away. I waxoyled the brackets, swapped all the screws for stainless and used larger stainless "penny" washers.

I watched the video before installing the front mud flaps & was a little concerned about having to modify the car, but I had bought the mud flaps, roof rack & other parts before I had got the car!

That was the strange thing with mine. It was 4 years ago, but I clearly remember that I didn't have to modify anything & I came to the conclusion that the set I put on had been updated so they could go on without further modifications, & they also had the metal brackets, from memory but I can't clearly remember but I think the metal brackets were a slightly different shape than shown. The hardest thing was pulling off the bit of white (my car) body panel.

So even though the video was very helpful, I didn't have to do any cutting..... & I am a person with all the conceivable tools for this sort of work!

The rear mud flaps I have replaced with originals & they are a bit better made. They came with heavier & slightly longer screws, but I nevertheless replaced them with stainless steel, but not too long to avoid damaging the bodywork!

The other difference it that the copies have an "oval" Land Rover logo but without Land Rover printed in the oval. The originals have the correct logo with Land Rover printed in the oval.

Instructions for the copies was a tired A4 photo copy. Originals had a proper printed copy. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
