Well there are a couple of posts on here where members that have bought non oem ones have had nothing but grief with ill fitting screw holes being out of alignment |

Mine fitted OK although I've now removed them for off clearance when roading/green laning.

Stan in my view everytime I have skimped on acessories with copies have ended up buying the originals so false economy. Buy original and be happy and better off Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

I drilled mine and regret it as I now quite like the flap less look but leaving them on due to holes.

I'm having mudflaps fitted (as usual) this week, as I can't bare the thought of all that road grit, salt, spray etc flying off the tyres and hitting paintwork, why would you want that to happen?!! Discovery 4 HSE
