Hi Dave. Yes I have seen a car with these fitted. I was going to buy it but found a Arden green one instead lol my only reservation is that once fitted you cannot keep eye on and clean behind them. Good way to hide a rotten car though

If my foggy memory serves me correctly, Graham Rigby, the chap who produced the P5B convertible and a 3 litre diesel some years back, told me mudguard liners from an MGB (not sure which model) fit the fronts. Might be worth taking a look.

I've seen them before,made by a firm called Lokari. If they aren't those particular ones they are very similar. Lokari made them for a lot of different cars a few years back,I've even got the price lists somewhere.

Are these made of a rubbery like material, much the same as the modern car, or are they other material? i.e., wood/plastic/metal. I like the idea makes sense when you think how open it all is undserneath!

They seem to be made of aluminium with rubber edges. Kevin you are correct with the manufacturer, Lokari. David

What I find strange about this thread is the title. I thought we antipodeans were the only ones who called them mudguards, or 'guards for short. I thought you only called them wings and they are fenders in the US.
P.S. I can see how the term wing originated, but fender has always puzzled me. I try to avoid using my mudguards to protect the rest of the body from bumps and knocks.

UK On older cars when we had bumps at the end of the running board these were called mudguards were n't they? US I thought they called bumpers fenders. Hence the expression fender bender?

I stand to be corrected by our US friends, but all the US car companies here have always called the mudguards on their cars, fenders. It has now got to the point where many young Aussies call them fenders. Don't know what they call bumper bars. I think that there is a type of bumper that they call a nerf bar. Brought up in Geordie land as a youngster what I now call Wings were Mud Guards! That's probably where we got it from, John.

Boats use fenders to protect them from banging and rubbing against pontoons and the likes.
I thought that fender was a shortened version of defender.

Its actually the mud guard (now the whole wing) or strictly the wheel guard (defender) so the bumper also provides this function

fender - noun 1. a low frame bordering a fireplace to prevent burning coals from falling out. 2. a plastic cylinder, tyre, piece of old rope or matting, etc., hung over a ship's side to protect it against impact. I grew up with the first answer - also to keep kids from falling in! I guess anything that wraps round to protect.

I grew up with the first answer - also to keep kids from falling in! I guess anything that wraps round to protect. It's the 2nd definition that I've always known as a fender. I just saw a short video on how stainless steel road tanker trailers are constructed these days. It was in the US. They referred to the trailer's mudguards as fenders, the bumper as bumpers, and the mudflaps as mudguards.

I hope to revive an old topic here. Has anyone the Lokari protectors fitted on a P5? Are these easy to fit? And is it really a goed protection from the elelements? I want to be able to use my car on rainy days so I'm interested in anything that protects the bodywork.

Go to the Search section and ty[e in Lokari and you will find my experience with these fender splash guards. They work very well.
