I fitted my mudflaps a few months ago, and opinions were divided...

http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...hreadID=228401

Well, today I was reversing onto a low kerb and as I neared it, the flap touched the kerb. Unbeknown to me, the tyre then squeezed up against the flap, trapping it against the kerb, next I heard a tearing noise.... ****! I thought.... kerbed!

But alas, I didn't kerb it, but the flap had been pulled off, so the other 3 promptly joined it. (in the regulation manner - screwdriver)

So I am flapless, and no doubt most of you will say its a good move.

What a waste of £85!

With.....


Without...

Each to their own rex, but I disagree, hence why I did the modification.
