The mudflaps for the rear of a GSi are the same as the front, you just have to purchase the extra brackets for fitting them, a pack of 2 'L' shaped ones.
Theses fix to the mudflap and use the fixing location for the bumper underneath.

you want the flat rectangular, square edged ones. Not the rounded contoured ones.

the rounded ones do fit the rear but not the front. And if your putting flaps on the front(which will b the flat ones), you want the same ones on the rear otherwise it looks gash (imo).

I only want rear ones and all i know is they don't seem to fit unless i sort of push them further down/round the bumper, then they don't sit nowhere near flush with the wheel so either way it looks pretty poo.. i think there just the totally wrong ones

They are for a 97-on bumper.
You need pre-97 moulded. They're not specific to the GSi - all pre-97 cars are the same fitment.
The gap is because on the 97-on bumper the screw hole is retarded back in to the bumper about 5mm so on the mud flap there's a little stage with the hole in which then touches the bumper and introduces the gap.
The older type are flat across the entire mounting surface.
