This is nothing as serious as Drew's recent run of bad luck, but I managed to tear off a rear mud flap on the weekend.
Not sure how I did it, can only guess that when I reversed at one point, I backed into a rock or step that jammed it forward onto the tyre and then when I went forward again - riiiip.
I didn't even notice it until I went to the car wash to get the mud off. (That's what I get for having a play on the Mt Sugarloaf Range track instead of taking the F3 from Newcastle to Sydney
)
Anyway, Mr Toyota charges $79.50 (inc GST) for this piece of plastic !
And I can't see that there's much alternative (like a flexible rubber replacement), since it's moulded and wraps around the curve on the end of the bumper.
So be nice to your mud flaps - otherwise it could get expensive.
Cheers...Steve
