A couple of thoughts:
1. Zip ties might be better than steel p clamps which could have a tendency to gouge into the soft carbon fork
2. Or you could get these fenders which could work, Planet Bike Speedez Road Fender http://www.amazon.com/Planet-Bike-SpeedEZ-Bicycle-Fender/dp/B000C17NKW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
I’ve had experience of the MTB version of these and they do the job. Zip ties are needed to stop them flapping around.

Yeah, bare p-clips would be bad…I would try them with rubber spacer strips as a cushion (like the strips that come with some headlight mounts), which may give better hold strength than zip ties. Also, it looks like you can buy p-clips pre-rubberized: http://www.bikewagon.com/dimension-seatstay-rack-clamps-for-14-16mm-seat-stays?CAWELAID=1889632382&ds_e_ad_type=pla&CAGPSPN=pla&catargetid=400006350000357719&cadevice=c&gclid=CjwKEAiAoJmlBRCxjKeizPHVs1ESJAC6cxjULLPDUbTmj0SGZu4Yt5iaLgkr6qx8hW4Lwb_OJGGewBoCNnbw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
