MG4 Mudflaps

[Les burrows]

Jester that is great and many thanks to you placing an order tonight it was just that I didn’t want to be having to drill holes to fit them but from what you have explained and showed in your pictures they is no need to drill anything can you tell if they have made much difference as yet ? I’m sure it must help.

It peed down all the way home this morning after my night shift.
Definitely a bit of water on the sills as I would expect anyway.
But still no dirt at all, it's just clean water.
So fingers crossed they're helping a bit

Thank you Jester27 I worked night shifts for over 32 years in the glass industry in St Helens so I know what it’s like.

Great post and really appreciate the details of fit and outcome. Ended up buying these, and car mats, and then sill protectors, then 'trunk mat' and finally screen protectors.. Cheers

All I need is my MG 4.. due last week but 'a couple of weeks away'..

Sounds like you could go through the parts bin and build your own.

Mine arrived today - much quicker than I expected. As per the OP there are front and rear pairs, spare screws and fixing tool, plus the headrest cost hanger.

Just need the car now

@Jester27 did you remove/are you removing the mudflaps prior to returning your car? (I think you've said you're rejecting the car, unless I've confused you with someone else).

I am going to practice fitting mine on a cardboard cut out MG4 model ahead of delivery...think f1 wheel change speed🏎 and I will have months of practice to perfect it

Yes I'll be removing them.
Will have few bits available
My bloody mats are on their way too

I am sure someone of the forum will be interested in them. Good luck going forward

Just had my mudflaps, trunk bumper protector, carbon fibre sill tape and screen protectors delivered. More to come. Literally coincided with the call from my dealer to say car arriving Monday and subject to PDI (assured me oil leak/undertray and any other issues will be checked for) can collect Tues/Wed. May have the seat and boot covers by then too.
Still cautiously optimistic that MG will resolve everything

Just had my mudflaps delivered and fitted perfect. Slightly cheaper £16.30 and delivered in 16 days. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005004836322580.html

Very similar to the ones I bought for my SUV some time back but they do not stop mud from flying up the door sils as they are not wide enough in my case anyway.....fit and look good though.
However in the MG4 the front ones should stop mud or whatever hitting the higher protruding part of the door sil which is the more important section to prevent getting your legs or clothes dirty when alighting.

Received the same mudflaps, rear fitted easily, but the front ones, top button came out eventually.
Agreed, you do need to refit the button rather than screws, but its too sloppy, a screw will not go in there as the hole is to big.
Requested a refund.
Wondering if there is anywhere where you can get these button clips and then force apart with a screw like wallplugs?

Clips/buttons of different sizes are available online. Obviously not ideal having to buy something you shouldn't have to but perhaps worth a shot?

I bought a box of these from Amazon for another job

I managed to refit the button but they did send a bag with spare buttons with my mudflaps. Didn't need them so don't know if they would
fit.

I also had no issues refitting the button fitting at the top on both MG4's I've had.
Feels pretty solid once in

Yeah...because the holes in the mudflaps are often a little smaller I found I had to tap a few of the existing buttons/pins in with a hammer.

Wow mine just pushed through no problem.

I am elderly and probably a bit weaker.

My delivery only came with screws, no plugs at all, when I tried to refit the old plug it felt way to sloppy and light pressure on the mudflaps and it started coming away. I'll try and find something on amazon or ebay that will be be a tighter fit plug. They do look good though.
