Sizing Query (Boardman and mudguards lol)

[Mike!]

Bending them shouldn't be a problem, if you have issues then just cut off one of the stays and run with one on the disc side (I did that on my old Boardman CX and it was fine!)

Haha, didnt think of that. Halfords had tried a slight bend, and said they may have been able to fit them by using a longer bolt through the disk brake bracket instead of using the mudguard hole...
I just said to remove the guards from the order, and I will look into the best alternative and do them myself. Chromoplastics seem to be recommended more than the bluemels I had ordered anyway. OR I may try those Bontrager ones Vickster mentioned. Or maybe just some clip ons.

They can wait for now anyway, I do however now have my bike at home tested it in the halfords car park and there was no noticable wobbles, or rattles, or problems with brakes or gear shifting. Fingers crossed :P
