Hi all!
This is my first newbie post so I hope I get it right...
I've just bought a Shogun Sport 2004 Warrior and both mud/splash guards on the rear are broken and need replacing. I have spent the last few days searching ebay and phoning breakers but I can't seem to get hold of any. Do any of you have any other ideas? |

Aren't they part of the bumper ? Not separate flaps? |

They form part of the wheel arch trim so yes they are not really a seperate mud flap. |

I have found a lot of these but sadly they aren't the right type. On my model there isn't a seoerate mud flap it is moulded plastic and forns part of the bottom of the wheel arch as well. I'm calling it a mud flap/guard but it may be described as something else. |

Are you certain? I thought that the mudguard was always a separate moulding that attached to the wheel arch extension. It does effectively form part of the wheel arch, which otherwise ends in a flat section.
Shame you haven't got enough posts in to be able to include a photo of your existing wheel arch and mudguard mounting. I will send you a private message with my email address. If you email me a photo I will post it for you. |

Here are the images of br86's mudguard. He wrote "I've attached 2 pictures with the part I need. If you can see in them the guard and lower part of the trim is one piece. The mudguard part of this one you see is hanging on by the skin of its teeth and my passenger side one has snapped completely. I like your idea of modifying it I may go down this route instead of sourcing replacements which will probably be broken again"
Strange that Mitsubishi changed the component so much from the earlier version, which terminates level with the base of the wheel arch extension.

My 2006 Sport is completely different. The wheel arch terminates around the bottom of the body, and then there's a rubberised mud flap attached to the bottom of it. |

It seems like Mitsubishi changed to this type for only a few models then (unsurprisingly) scrapped the idea and went back to the separate flap design. The front of mine are the same as well they form about 200mm of the wheel arch trim.
I think because of the fact I'm going to be using it off road, and there's every chance any replacements I source may break, I'm going to attempt a modification like Simon_W has done. There's just about enough plastic left on mine to cut the unit flush with the body and it can't look any worse than it does now. If I've posted enough by then I'll put up some pictures of my attempt.
Thanks for all your help! |
