I would be interested in your experiment...Yes, the mudguard is steel and the top left corner of the cover is your go-to spot...to fix a magnet I used Wurth double sided tape which is used in the auto industry to adhere rearview mirrors to windscreens but you would need something more permanent...it is fiddly to get the right gap but achievable with spacers or having the magnet stuck exactly in the right spot...not easy...I am inclined to follow my wedge idea...not so many variables and it will be out of sight...hopefully 3D printed black plasticCouldn't you just glue a neodymium magnet on the inside of the flap?
I'm sure the body of the car is magnetic
…that would work, but it will fairly quickly grind the paint off with vibration I suspect. Normal road and track grime, plus neodymium will not let go of any ferrous grit.Couldn't you just glue a neodymium magnet on the inside of the flap?

Thanks, it does help, (to remind myself not to start a job at twilight!)This might help for then body parts;

Not to mention what the water has done to the road/ground which is now coverd by the water. What is the sticker bottom left of your windscreen?

During floods we assist the flood wardens with assessing levels and placing road closed signage where required.
looks great. cannot wait to receive mine!
very neat work - and great thinking; a couple of questions about them…
That’s exactly one of the reasons I made these grille screens for mine - so much work to pull all that apart and clean it out, and between the radiator fins too. Here in Oz we get heavy insect infestations too which can either block the radiator immediately, or cause a build up over time. The radiators of today have so little reserve built in, it is essential to keep them as clean as possible.
Have taken it for a run - long drag up a range in 32°C heat - made no difference. Bottom ones are mounted over existing - top one removed easily by hand (no tools required) with 30 secs.
Home made.
