"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

Check the main stealer, I've got a funny feeling that the genuine pug ones are only about £10 per pair. The body-shape moulded ones are a lot more though

I can do that from here, hold on.... nah, they're more than 20 quid a pair. They're also moulded plastic jobbies that are shaped to fit, apart from the "standard" front ones (no rears?) which are like the ones in the link above and represent a massive saving of...... £2.56 :roll:

I fitted cheap ones low on the Xantia so it looked a bit like that rally car.

Problem is when it clipped kerbs etc. they were prone to coming loose.

Also, had to make sure it had clearance when it rested on it's belly (Suspension at lowest setting)

I've always found mud flaps do nothing, nothing much at all :|

A lot of the muck comes off the upper part of the wheel at speed so misses the flap.
