Re: Mud flaps wagon
universal ones would fit ok on the front but the rear on the wagon has no flat inner surface to mount them on hence i would like a genuine fitted set for the rear.

Re: Mud flaps wagon
I have been looking for weeks in the breakers yards local to me but not had any luck, there is some genuine ones on ebay now and then but the wagon rears are specific.
Will just need to keep looking
