Mudflaps

And that makes perfect sense.
My argument is that doing it right is doing enough.
Making a "better" job by putting more effort in than necessary or using an over complicated process to do the same job is wasteful and, as I understand it, against the better principles of engineering.
I'm not an engineer of course.....

for the mudflaps to fit the body perfectly and using laser cutting, you'd need to make four patterns and four cad drawings, four lots of code. The bodywork isn't symmetrical. Cost would be rampant, better spent on decent dampers.

I've made the patterns today, one of the joys of retirement

Kaylan looks like a proprietary material available in the UK. What are more common materials used for mudflaps? I was going to just buy some sheet stock of something suitable to cut them out from, but would appreciate any recommendations on material, thickness and durometer to use

I've gone with a period look which is 4mm thick black rubber sheet, easy to cut with a Stanley knife and looks right, been on the car for over 24 years so no issues with longevity.

Would these be too much on the rear of a stradale style build? Anybody tried anything like these? NOS For Fulvia Beta etc.
