That mini was featured in minimag back in 2005, it says in the feature ''the mudflaps are made from electrical matting which was cut down to fit''. The owner of it is on here as retroracer1380, but I don't think he gets on much.

Yeah, I have not seen any like those for sale anywhere, they always seem to be either the little standard mini ones or the shiny plastic sparco or similar type. I would go with DIY from some thick rubber mat.

Surely thick rubber mat would be too heavy??

When I say thick I mean about 3mm, should be okay? Just not really thin, flapping in the wind stuff.

Apart from the rear lights and boot lid it's a pretty poor replica.

Hi,
There's ribbed rubber matting available, usually fitted in the bottom of toolbox draws or van racking. It's about 3mm thick and the ribs pointing towards the wheels would help the water go down rather than round.
Cheers
