Initially i was thingking to put some hard material, which looks better. But for now this is OK.
No, You car's new mud flaps are looking nice and shiny. Also, I hope they should be much easier to clean as well.

Yes it looks ok (not great) and it is indeed shiny. But it is very low so keep tounching the bumper, so you never know when it will fall. One more thing its flexible, not hard, so it helps.
I have not cleaned yet, but looks to be easy to clean.

Hey its very costly.
Can you buy just 2, front ones? Fiat doesn't give separetly, you have to pay 485 and buy all 4.

Well, when I had got the car, I got the guys to remove the rear ones and returned them to the dealer!!
And yes, the price they had quoted was for the front ones only (I am hoping, for the set of L & R!!)

You can check the inventory of aditya. Its not hard one.

Punto's flaps are made of PVC material. Its mentioned there on the packet. This is also not hard-one, rubber like material.

I have the hard ones on my City. The non flexible ones. Are these available for small hatches like Punto and Alto?

Since when Punto became small hatch buddy, it is the biggest hatch (except fabia).

Alto have hard one, punto doesn't.
