Hey guys,

I'm in the process of slowly narrowing down the list of things my ute needs to be roadworthy.
My mechanic told me it'll need mudguards and flaps to cover the tyre.
Is there anywhere I can get some (other then finding and raiding another ute of theres) that'll look alright on it and not sure out of place?

I had thought about just using some conyeor belt and making them long enough but it'll look super dodgy. I've had a windscreen smashed from a flying stone before so I know how important it is to get it right.


Cheers,
Alex

Fabricators down here are USELESS. I don't pretend to weld but I know the basics of do's and dont's.

Might just have to make a temp set up out of generic trailer guards :(

Actually doesn't look half as bad as I expected. Do you have any side on shots?
