Made mud-flaps for i3 - photos shown
After searching the internet for i3 specific mud flaps without any luck, I decided to just make a set...
My i3 prior to front flaps... Then, when completed... First, my i3 is lowered with HR springs, then spaced properly with 15mm front and 20mm rear, putting the wheels where they should have been from the factory. Since I did not want any rocks or other debris getting flung from tires up against the side or lower skirt of my pristine i3, I created this set and it solved all possibility of that. First, I created templates using cardboard until I got the shape I wanted. I didn't want anything hanging out a mile and looking stupid, just something functional and unobtrusive. Since the i3 has 4 bolts on the rear side of the fender well, I used them all in this simple mod. I then transferred the shape to 1/8" pvc plastic - mirror image on each side can be seen... Cut out with saber saw, drilled holes, then bolted up - literally an hour total with design. Brian

I suspect that'll negatively impact range.

I only made for front. I looked closely at the back a though flaps would cut down water spray behind in the rain, I do not think they are needed in the back. Mine stop 90% of the crap that is lifted from tires.
I want to see yours, post when done.
