I can figure most of it out except these little curved metal bracket thingies. I know pictures would be helpful but no camera at work.

Anyone know how this stuff goes together? I cant believe how heavy these are either, almost 2 lbs each!

If the clamps are anything like the ones I used to have on my e30...it helps to use a lubricant to be able to slide the clamp over the metal edge of the wheel well and the rubber mud flaps. Is that how the e34 mud flaps mount? BMW usually avoids having you drill a hole (can be the beginning of rust...especially in that area). :D

sorta hard to see 'em but they are there: http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/1/web/433000-433999/433594_23_full.jpghttp://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/1/web/433000-433999/433594_23_full.jpg

they are a bit large looking but thats cause its like a cast on your arm, just not used to the look yet. They are definetly not some plastic "back off" flaps, fit perfectly. The clips are a butch and require schwarteneger strength to pop on with your finger but if you can get them started I used a small brass hammer to finish "sliding" them on.

they will definetly stop the multiple inches of mud from piling up under the doors and getting on my pants. If my car wasnt so disgusting looking I would have taken pictures. I will eventually though.
