Default do you prefer mudflaps or no mudflaps?

Do you think mudflaps look good on a classic or better without mudflaps?

On a classic with. Gives a wider appearance from the rear for some reason AND saves the paint on the lower door areas big time.

I took mine off and the car looked skinny. Soon put them back on.

I have flaps on the rear but none on the front as I kept scraping them on kerbs and eventually they fell off, I must get some bendy one's for the front.
Nothing worse than scraping your flaps

Flapless gives a more streamlined look & you don't have to worry about ripping them off if you catch something.

It's the biggest scoop ever, only 3 were ever imported from Japan & as far as I know it's the only one left as the others were rumoured to have been wrecked on rally cars.


I may sell it as after it being on my car for 5 years Iv now gone reverse scoop.

No way :| that thing is massive! Lol, I like the reverse scoop, is there actually any benefit to the reverse scoop over the normal scoop?

Had the arches rolled as I was running RE070s, which are 225/45 no issues with rubbing

Small splash guards on my current car
