    installed these beauties tonight and install was very very simple.

    up front you pop out three existing clips and install with longer clips included.

    In the rear you need to drill three holes for each guard, but there are already indents in the body panel. (use a small bit first then go larger)

    With all the hardware needed included and clear instructions this was an easy mod.

    I think these plus rallyamour would look awesome... Just need the bit that goes in front of the rear tire.

    Nice. I like the little rear spats. I don't like the look of bigger flaps.

    Hey guys have a look at your rockers in front of the rear wheels. It happend again on my new SV and it has had mudflaps since day two! I never took any pics this time but you can look at the start of this thread to see it was the same as last time.

    What are you going to do?

    I'd STRONGLY recommend owners check this out. Road grit "sandblasting" of the rocker undersides was a problem on the 1996-2001 Swift/Metro/Fireflies, and if allowed to perforate the metal, rust quickly spread through the structure, more from the inside than the outside. Damage becomes far worse than can be seen. It spreads into the floors as well.
