Shoutout to RAW mudflaps for offering Brompton mudflaps with custom prints: https://rawmudflap.uk/product/personalised-folding-bike-mudflap/

An improvement over the flappy OEM flap which gives in to large volumes of water and is as good as having no mudflap when cycling through deep puddles.

One downside if you have bar ends is that they may need to be repositioned and letting the handlebars fall on their own as the last step of the fold may no longer work. I have Ergon GP4s which I had to tilt down a few mms from their previous horizontal position (the only one that works with the fold, at least with the low bar), and I need to gently press on the mudflap to allow the bar end to go over it. The point of contact can be seen in the picture but it's normally not as noticeable as the play of light in the picture would make it seem.

I used the LP UK front/back graphic from http://www.hipgnosiscovers.com/pinkfloyd/darksideofthemoon.html and uploaded it tilted by 90 degrees. I have shown a print screen of the settings used for placing my order. I believe the stretch option does not work as intended and anything <1 gives the same slight reduction in size. The vertical offset could have been anywhere between 26-28 mm, I don't remember exactly. For the secondary/overlay colour, if you choose any colour that is not exactly black and tick "Custom Colours Reflective?", you will get a little bit of reflectivity.

    Looking at that, it’s like seeing the Dark Side of the Moon, although I’d be showing my age if I said that! Might look into getting one of those.
