Default Mud flaps for GC8

Hey guys i was just thinking about mud flaps for the GC8.

Anyone know some good flaps that are fairly easy to put on (and remove fast) if i do take it offroad?

judging by the ammount of crap that sprays up the sides on sealed roads i dont want scrapes down the side of my car!

Had the car a little angled on the weekend while doing a u-turn on pea gravel trying to find the group on the possum bourne cruise.

Looking for something easy and good looking.

Thanks for any advice.

Easy to put on and remove fast....youd be needing WRC style with appropriate "quick release" cuts around the bolt holes. Dunno how well it goes for longevity, but it means they can rip off and replace without needing to remove the fastening bolts.

Expect to pay top dollar for Prodrive/WRC gear.

I'd be interested to know how much a set of factory ones go for.

check the MRT forums under bargains
There were some STI flaps discounted in limited colours - and they do have the splits for mounting/release
