Mudflaps

[DavidSmart]

Hi Guys ( sorry and Gals ),

picked up my IQ2 auto last Thursday ( 5th March ), very pleased so far. Dont seem to be having 'scratch' problems with the door panels. I noticed on eBay there are a few places selling accessories for the IQ ( just search Toyota IQ ), and I was quite interested in mudflaps. I emailed the seller 'how do you fit them ?'. He says 'drill one hole , and a clip, should be able to do it yourself'. Just wondering if anyone has them already ( with pics ), and is it easy. I dont mind drilling into plastic, but metal might invalidate the paint warranty mightn't it. Anybody got any info ?

Thanks

I have fitted them and did not need to do any drilling.

There is a self tapper that goes into a spire nut on the rear mud flap near the top under the wing, and it might be preferable to drill a hole but I found it not necessary.The hole would be into the plastic of the rear "bumper" anyway and not metal, so no rust issues!

If you look at the official accessory installation manual (AIM), it shows you how they are fitted.Took me about 10 minutes for all of them, and I think they look good too!

If you look for a thread "iQ mud flaps and exhaust trim" in this forum, there are some poor attempts at pictures there.

I got mine from Parts-king (he is often on this forum) and are official Toyota ones which came by next day delivery (as he had them in stock).

It would be a good idea for you to send Parts-king a PM with your request.

He might not look at this forum too much.

Good luck
