I've wondered if that dead pedal is sold separately, since my 124 came with the other two pieces.
Curious as to the appearance of the mud flaps once you get them installed, and the ease/difficulty of that project. I could certainly use mud flaps now, as we are drowning in rain here in Southern California. Mud is washing into the roads. I knew I wanted a white car.

Yes the dead pedal is sold separately....Mud flap install simple on front...uses existing holes...back requires 3 holes to be drilled on each flap...still a very simple job...unless you have a small drill you will need to remove the rear wheel...
The Mopar site says that the mud flaps will not fit an Abarth...hmmm...is there difference in wheel well dimensions?
Ok, upon inspection of my car vs a lusso or classica, Abarth's do have the rear side marker light/reflector positioned differently, but still it would appear that the mud flaps would work....thoughts??

should that read, you need to drill three hole for the flaps? i would like to have them but i do not want to drill any holes in the rear wheel wells and later have to worry about rust.

Looking forward to the red lusso pics! Hope the drilling can be done without removing the wheels. I used your mud flap pic for my blog article on this subject as it's the first pic of the flaps I've seen!I have a few more Mopar accessories to install today. The mud gaurds and the bright pedals.

You are correct...holes are drilled on the car...but no metal...all plastic so rust will not be an issue...

well that is very important information to know! i think someone else was going to install a set but i never saw a post after their install to say you do not need to drill into any metal. For sure once Sophia comes out of hibernation she will be getting a set knowing this detail. I have a spring bday so i guess i will have to add that to my wish list.You are correct...holes are drilled on the car...but no metal...all plastic so rust will not be an issue...

Thanks.
Can you please measure the distance between Wheel center and fender?
Die MPSS is such a sexy tire
Have you done an alignment after your installation?
In Germany you have to, and many customers have recognized a big improvement in driving performance. Also the suspension settles a little bit more.

1st pic is the front...2nd pic is the rear... just the angle of the pic makes it look the same size...the rears do have more coverage protecting the rear painted area behind the wheel and underneath....

You will need a standard gun...with a 3/16 head for the fronts and one of these for the rears....
