Has anyone fitted mudflaps to their Monaro? I tried to get them from a Dealer but they said that none where available. A part number would help. Are they easy to fit? Thanks again.

Got some fitted to the fronts of my VZ CV8 when I got it new. The rears wouldn't fit as they they were made for the VY rear bumper.

From what I can gather, Holden didn't make any for the VZ Monaro's.

My CV8 has them, front and rear. Don't know the part number as they were on the car when I got it. Saw some for sale on the fleabay recently though, pukka Holden parts.

They blend in quite well so you don't really notice them, only downer for me is that they scrape coming out of my car park at home!!!

I bought some from the vauxhall parts place (cannot remember the web link) - still not fitted yet but I cannot figure why cars these days dont come with mud flaps. Using the waterbased paints you would think they would!?

Because they look ridiculous?

I dont think they do, I have stopped putting the grounding strip on the back of the ro now though.

Specified them new on my CV8 3 years ago, so dont have a part no. Cant imagine why anyone would want to go without them. When I looked at the demo car at the dealers, the bottoms of the wheels were obviously wider than the wheel arches, so specifying mudflaps was a must to reduce stone chips and mess up the side of the car.

They are very in keeping with the car and don't spoil the look of it at all. Ground clearance is crap though... But then, its not too clever in front of the wheels either!

Fronts = Yes, Rears = No (different contour to rear panels on VY(04) & VZ(05) Twin Exit models
