Big yes from me, they look good AND help keep the car a little cleaner.

(not the best photo of them)

Another vote for flaps As well as looking good they stop stone chips and the like.







Wheels are for sale too!

Looks great that Meallbhan! Why are you selling the wheels? They really suit your car!

I like mudflaps, hence the username, but took mine off when they started twisting and now like the naked look too. I might buy some more mind when the grit starts going down.

Its a yes from me but I think they look better if not to loud ie red ones on black cars and big stickers on the back of them but that's just my opinion!

I had some Mudban ones that had plastic fixings and didn't need drilling, the backs kept pointing up. I'd only get ones that need drilling.

Dont even think, just buy them! I cant believe I waited 7 years before getting mine...i got the basic rally armor ones for only $44. Makes your car look more aggressive and it actually protects your car.

I put Mudflaps on one of my cars i while back and reversed up the kerb onto my front lawn as usual but this time the mudflap somehow got trapped between the kerb and the tyre and ripped the rear bumper off its mounting point lots of hoorible damage .Bizzar i know .If this hadnt happend i would have them on my latest motor just to stop the crap wrecking the paintwork they look good and serv a purpose.
