Have been waiting to get splash guards fitted for a while and finally got them on today. Pleased with the result and am sure they will help with reducing amount of road grime on the sills

Do they have any noticeable impact on efficiency?
 
Not sure yet have only done about 20 miles since I fitted them they look fairly aero dynamic only protruding slightly but enough to stop some of the spray.

Had mine from AliExpress months ago, lost the fittings, found the fittings, lost them again.
As soon as they turn up a second time I'll get them fitted.
 
Have made first order to Ali express for various items so will see how good the items and service is when they arrive so far the tracking has been good but I have mixed experience with Evri who seem to be delivering them.

Ali Express used Evri as their UK courier with my latest order, which took exactly one week to arrive.

Luckily my usual Evri driver is one of the best and has been delivering in my area for several years and knows most people by name although some of my orders have been delivered by the Royal Mail.

Found them again, job for tomorrow if the rain stays off.
We had a price earlier of £23.99 + £9.60 postage.
I guess the AliExpress ones are cheaper; how much if you don't mind me asking, and do you think they'll be solid enough to survive having rocks thrown at them by the tyres?
Traditional mid flaps used to be a solid bodied rubbery compound but now they want to be prettier and shiny / textured I always wonder if they'd snap off on a cold winter's morn....

I had them fitted to my MG4 for 2 and a bit years and they looked as good as new when I part exchanged it. I've also fitted them to my MGS5 EV.

The prices on AliExpress can change from day to day and depending if it's your first order from them. At the moment for a first order there are some at £12.60 and free postage.

£15.96 less some vouchers and discount came to about £11.50 delivered agb.

Yes I think they'll last, they are flexible plastic, made to fit very well. Mind you at £11 odds I'm not worried if one of the fails in a year or so.
 
How easy are they to fit for a numpty like me?
I don't want to be drilling or have a chance to break stuff when prising (which normally happens).
Thanks.

No drilling and you should only need one philips screwdriver and maybe a flat head to help lever screws out. Three screws on each flap on my ones.
