I got some of the Carbon Mudflaps off ebay, one thing you should do before fitting is ensure that they are completely flat. Mine started to bend inwards (towards the wheels) shortly after fitting. I think its worthwhile heating the flaps with a hairdryer before fitting and making sure they are completely flat or at least bend in the direction away from the wheels!

Im pretty sure mine are the 5mm ones, I have a feeling that they where cut off a roll of Carbon and the roll was rolled the way the mudflaps are trying to curl. So every night now I have to put bits of cardboard between the wheel and mudflap to keep em straight! :eek:
