In regards to splash guards for GTV-6's
I currently trying to restore a 1985 gtv-6 and I noticed that the splash guards under the front fenders have been chewed up pretty badly. I have been trying to find replacements for these and am having no luck at all. I was wondering if anyone can give me any websites or any information that might help me find some.
You can get those splash guards at www.international-auto.com but these parts are a bit expensive to be just steel.

splashguards
Im in Colorado, U.S.
Mine had a fair amount of surface rust and the bottom bit rusted away on one. I sanded back to bare metal and coated both sides with fibreglass cloth and resin. I made the fibreglass repair slightly larger than the original and it also then replaced the rusted away bits. It's easy to sand and file into the correct shape, then coated with the usual black under body stuff, there's no way it can rust again. The fibreglass kit was about $25 AUD and was enough for both sides.

aluminum splash gaurds
Easy to make, use the old one as the pattern. Aluminum sheets sold at hardware or home centers, just be sure to use a rubber seal along the edge(any side-split small caliber hose will work). I also use stainless sheet metal screws for any repairs.

I'm from Switzerland !
Therefore, do you have any address to give me in order to buy those famous aluminium spash guards ?
I tryed to make some from a Milano 75 but the fit was not that good (specially around the wheel arch).
I'm looking for a solution that would protect all the inside of the front fenders. Do you have any other idea about it ?
Eventual pictures would be welcome.
Thanks a lot and regards.

Dear Enzo and Dennis,
I placed an order for a set of mudguards to "Lokari.de" this afternoon.
They sent me back a confirmation telling me that I should recieve it
around week 17/18. I'm affraid that you and I will have to wait until then,
but be sure I will send you pics as soon as I get those parts.
