Do Vauxhall do genuine mud flaps for the Mig?
I can't say iv'e noticed any :-?
If they do, how much am i likely to be ripped off charged?
Iv'e looked on flea way, plenty for other Vauxhall's >:(

i'm also interested in a set of mud flaps
took my car skating in the snow yesterday, not on purpose but was VERY pleased with a perfect drift ¾ the way round a roundabout, but on returning home from work, noticed the entire contents of the road stuck to the side of my car!

Hi Waspy...yes VX do sell mudflaps for mega,s..I bought a set for the rear before Christmas ,but can,t find the receipt to give you part number.think from memeory(which is faiding fast)they were about £20 inc vat,but unsure if they are the same on the front as the back.
They needed a little cutting to fit back had the back scored to allow for it,so when fitted they are fine.
Hope that helps.if I find the receipt will post p/number

Facelift ones are a nice moulded part and fit neatly, the pre-facelift are universal ones for Cav, Astra etc and need lots of trimming to fit the Omega.
Dont know if the facelift ones will fit pre-facelift, MDTM says not because the sill cover mouldings are different.

I bought some for my 2.2......
Theres 3 part nos......Front / Rear Saloon / Rear Estate
I bought mine in Dec 2007........£36incl vat for front and rears......but i got them for £32incl (trade discount, NOT TC discount as not TC items)
And very easy to fit.......tho easier to fit the rears with the wheels removed. (You have to drill an extra hole per mudflap in the plastic trim)

Uhmm thank you chaps for all the help. Part No's written down & i shall phone them tomorrow :y

And really cuts down on the mud/etc splattered over the front doors and rear bumper.
Also if estate cuts down on the muck being sucked onto the tailgate :y
Tho word of warning......crawl over the plastic/rubber type speed bumps that get bolted down to the tarmac (the sort compaines tend to use) They will hit them otherwise.......Ive already lost a top screw outa one of the front ones, when the mudflap scrapped the bump and ripped the screw out >:(

The problem with VX mud flaps is that they are rigid plastic and when you go over even shallow dips in the road they will scrape. On the upside the are fully self adjusting they will either eventually wear down until they dont scrape or will get ripped off entirely. :o Other than that they do look smart and are a good fit :y

Word of warning... I have a set of Vx moulded mudflaps on my 2.6 and they a pain in the ar*e. Unless you are on a perfectly flat surface - e.g. motorway / dual carriageway etc. they will continually ground when you go over a bump. It doesnt do any damage (other than scrape another few mils of the bottom of the mudflap) but it is quite loud and can be very disconcerting... particularly for passengers.

Once again, thank you for all your advice. Very much appreciated :y

i just fitted the front mud flaps today and found out the hard way that irish roads are not flat enough, drivers front one broke after 3 miles :-[.
i havent fitted the rear ones and im going to take them back, nice look mind you but way to long and ur going to break them eventually.
the ones on the vectra only go around 1.5 inches under the car and still get scraped when the car bottoms out.

You shouldn't have any problems with the rear ones it's the fronts that scrape

I fitted them yesterday, but only the front. Gona leave back for a while, but there's a motive;- when it's wet you chuck loads of spray from the back & it usually keeps folk of ya a"$e :y
