Well, I got my mudflaps. A few things of note (Ron, you'll have to help me with some, I'll have to call for some others): - The rear mudflaps came without any installation instructions or mounting screws. - The rear mudflaps white emblem is just like the emblem on the front mudflap, except it's painted white (but the paint bleeds off the edge, making the emblem a bit "fuzzy") - The rear mudflaps won't attach unless they are carved out some more on my '87 Westy GL. Is this normal? - The front mudflaps instructions were hard to read at best (a single hand drawn photocopied sheet (which says "Kombi or Caravelle" on it) - Both mudflaps will not stand vertically because the end of the wheel well sits diagonal instead or perpendicular to the ground. Any ideas anyone? Did I get the wrong flaps? A bientot, Philippe > Mud Flaps - $65.95 for a set of 4. My part # 6881, my regular price $100. > These are the same ones I've been selling for years (genuine > Volkswagen/South Africa, as are the grills).

The rears have a white VW emblem. I have had a set on my '89 > Westy for about two years now, and they've worn exceptionally well.
