These the gm copies off ebay? They are rubber so will easily screw to the bumper, even if it is bloody beveled Lol. You have loads if area there to screw them on, it's easy enough to do apart from a bit of trial and error to get them straight.

Genuine GM rear mudflaps have a bracket that come as part of the set, it's a long piece of metal that clamps around the bottom of the inner arch, probably why these mudflaps fetch quite a bit new now as the puts the mudflaps straight, maybe make something similar, can't see them sitting right unless you do.

For the mk1 you need a bracket made up that will hold the flaps so that they're level with the back of the car and not offset outwards
