I like the mudflaps look, but not those stupid flappy ones that chavs fit to scoobies to pretend they are rally cars.
I've just put my VW flaps back on the back of my car, and I think it finishes it off. Just got to find some front gti ones now.

Any pictures to help me make my mind up?

Mud flaps would be the first thing I'd remove if they were fitted.  Apart from looking 'ghey' they're a bit too old and sensible, not that effective and if not cleaned properly can be a bit of a rust/crud trap.

I know Wayne doesn't like, them. Nor do i but i seen some on a Saxo that suprisingly looked really smart and made the car look really nice! (I am a saxo fan when not in the hands of Chavs!)

Thanks Dom..  :grin: :grin:

I think the proper 1s look good, they seem to make them look lower and wider so a yay from me
