Mudflaps? To be or not to be?
« on: 20 May 2008, 18:22 »
I'm undecided on wether to have the mudflaps on or off...? I'm not sure. I have them on at the moment:





What do you guys think?

Id say leave them, i didnt even notice you had them on the other pics you have posted recently.

If they were those long floppy ones that flap around in the wind when your driving then id have said yes.

I will admit, they do save crap from spraying onto the rear bodywork.  :sick:

My dads got some on his motor and it doesnt stop the back from getting dirty like my golf which doesnt have flaps.

Infact my last two cars havent had flaps and its not bad at all.

It does stop crap from spraying up the sides of the car behind the front wheels though.

Nah, they look fine.

Only time you may be forced to remove them is if you lower it, i mean i couldnt have flaps even if i wanted to because they would just scrape along the road all the time  :laugh:

Well thanks guys, I'll leave them on then, plus it's too much hassle. I gotta take the wheels off to do it lol!
