Candy White - Mudflaps or not?

[FroGTI]

I ordered a front pair for my mudflap-coloured GTI when it was new a year ago, but they looked so awful, I took them off even before I got round to fitting the second one. Rear flaps in particular just don't suit the Mk 6, IMHO.

My new motor has mud flaps fitted, i'm not sure wether to take em off or not tbh. I think they spoil the lines and make it look fussy round the arches particularly at the back but then again with a white car i probably need em.

Here's some dirty photos but you should get the idea.

What do you lot think?

I take it you didn't spec the car yourself then, or was it a used car? It's just that mudflaps aren't fitted unless requested.
I haven't totally done away with the idea myself, although I have to agree with the others who think they spoil the appearance of the MK6, so I think it's not likely that I'll have them fitted.

Not sure on Candy White, but I doubt you would see them on a Carbon Grey or Black car.

I agree they really don't look good, haven't seen many mk6's with them on.

I have them on mine, they were on it when I got the car.
I think they look OK, seem to match with the side plastic strip and the rear diffuser.

They probably look strange as it's not what you are used to.

I would say no as well tbo. The principle of mud flaps is good but the looks not!

Just wash you car at least twice a week instead I no this dosen't help with annoying stone chips but at the end of the day I'll keep my car 3 - 4 years max. A few stone chips here and there is not going to affect the overall price of your car when you come to sell it.

Or failing that go for the 3m film protection film (as per a thread on here a few days back).

Though I personally don't like the look of them especially on a white car, mudtraps do perform a useful function. They look quite good on Ess_Three's red GTi especially with his VWR wheels, I must admit. I think the colour of the wheels is quite an important factor for them to work aesthetically even on a white car.

Even Robbie Gordon doesn't have flaps......I would say wash your gem a bit extra and enjoy the pretty lines as it is....
