Orbea really didn't make it very easy. They designed the fender mounts so they would be hidden if not used, but that design makes them tricky to use. It took me a while to figure out how to mount them. I actually exchanged a number of emails with Orbea and they were fairly helpful and very responsive.
Here are pictures of the fenders where they are mounted to the frame. I am not sure why the orientation of the pictures is incorrect when I upload them, sorry about that.
Is this what you wanted to see? Please note, the front fender is not installed as one would normally install the fender. I have it mounted behind the fork rather than in front. I had to do this so there was enough clearance between the tire and fender. I didn't have this problem with my SKS Chromoplastics or my Portland Design Works, but I had to do it this way with the SKS Bluemels.
Please, don't mind the dirty bike. I took the long way to work today and the bike is now filthy.
Also, I don't remember what size the hex bolts are. Hopefully, you have the right size. If they are not going in easily they may be too big so be careful.
