How to remove Exige mud flaps - LotusTalk

VisualEchos · 11-02-2009, 01:12 PM

So I can nearly rebuild an engine with my eyes closed, but I can't figure out how to remove the front mud flaps. Lotus, you suck.

Anyone know how to get these things off?

If they are the same as an Elise - drill out two rivets.

They have to be drilled out? Lotus, why are you so stupid? Thanks for your help, they, and the myriad of sand/dirt behind them can stay.

are you sure it's only 2? There are like 10 rivets and screws there. LOL

3 rivets, 4 plastic screws = all stupidity.

If you're removing for aesthetic purposes, you'll likely have a dramatic increase in stones pounding the rockers.

I was only going to remove them because there is a huge amount of dirt/sand behind them (I'm a bit of a neat freak).
