Default stupid mudflaps do it again

reversing and ive just damaged my new rear bumper AGAIN !!!

the flaps catch under the wheel when i went up a raised curb parking and pulled it down, snapped the bolt hole off and another bumper is fooked

NOW apart from ripping them off and placing the stupid mudflaps in the bin im thinking of fitting bonnet pins to attach the rear bumper in place,,,,, anyone else done it before ???

BOY i hate cars sometimes !!!

first of all i cant see my wheels when parking,,,, i use my mirrors for looking BEHIND ME

going up a curb IN LONDON aint as hard as you may think,, at times you need to adjust the car to get out of or into a tight space on a main road,,,, shit happens mate its just the mudflap catches when reversing and due to the noise/ engine its easy yo rip off a bumper that is pinned in the corners,,,,,, take off the mudflaps and i wont get that issue so they comming off

guess its just my driving then,,, being ive never had mudflaps before i never realised the pain in the arse then can be
