Title: Anyone tried these Open fogs?
Post by: K9 on June 20, 2015, 05:07:48 pm: I tried to find oem open fogs but can't seem to find any, so decided to go to ebay and found these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221252720052?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Post by: markos on June 25, 2015, 10:45:04 pm: don't these let loads of crap and dirt fly in from the road? was keen to fit them myself but heard mixed reviews

thought the oem ones had deflectors which stopped this... sure i've seen this but can't find any pics

To be honest, when the center part is open anyway it really isn't going to make much difference.

Whats a fart when you've sh*t yourself!

Whats a fart when you've sh*t yourself! :grin: ha! like it, might start using that!

fair enough, although i'm sure i've read there's more delicate bits behind the fogs and that's why they closed them up... could be totally wrong though!
