On a whim, I purchased some splash guards off ebay. They've arrived and come with a bag of fasteners but no instructions. Just holding the guards in place, they seem to fit well.

I've separated out all of the fasteners but can't figure out exactly what is to go where. There are some metal clasps which you put a screw through, and there are other places where it looks like a self threading screw is all that is to be used.

Can someone tell me what is supposed to go where?

Thanks.

The ones I had on my 2009 were just screwed in place to the fender wells. The front ones were a bit low and would scrape going over the speed bumps at work.

Photos would help, and did you ping the seller to see if they have instructions....?

Dang, I've been too lazy since the photobucket debacle to find another hosting service.

These were shipped from China and I'll ask, but I don't have a lot of hope. The fit seems pretty good though. They snug up tight to where they should be.

The front splash guards are pretty short - they stick down probably less than two inches below the rocker panel. The rear ones are pretty big and have a smart car silhouette embossed into the back of the flap.

In the end, I'm just concerned that they provided some extra secure clips and that might go in an area where there's more force on the flap than normal.

Strangely, there were six clip points on my rears, but I don't see as many on that for sale ad.

Thanks. Those links are pretty helpful in an indirect way. I'll take a closer look one of these next few nights. Though it doesn't look like we're getting any rain here soon. We've had the longest streak of dry weather in recorded weather history of something like 56 days, interrupted by one day of rain, and now we're into almost another two weeks without rain again.

Hello guys. The front splash shield was ripped off my 2008 four two convertible….. will any year splash shield fit? I’m having serious trouble finding one strictly for 2008

I think you’re safe so long as yours is NOT a Brabus. A 451 890 00 78 I believe is the front part #.

A brabus? How would I be able to tell if it is that?

You have a 2008. The Brabus was first sold in the US in 2009.

Awesome. I looked it up. Seems like the brabus is a super fast version haha I got the good old putter haha! It’s cool as heck though. So these 2010-2015 front splash shields will fit my model? Thanks for the help 🤘🏻
