Clio's with mudflaps?

[Scutch]

Noticed a RB182 yesterday with mudflaps, and thought it looked awful.

Got me wondering, can the Clio look good with flaps on? I certainly won't be adding them to mine, but just out of curiousity, post up some pics of Clio flappage?

 

[Munson]

No.

Well, not quite. I said an RB182, whereas a Clio is any Clio across the range not just limited to the racing blue colour. I think that was the problem - the colour of the car.

As another example, my P1 looked great with flaps on. Other Impreza's looked turd.

etc.

Nahh, Clios with mud-flaps look terrible

For example:

Stolen from google
Although, it is made worse by the fact that those are obviously cheapo ebay flaps and its on a totally standard 1.2 LOLz

I hate, hate, hate mud flaps on cars. I appreciate some people put them on to protect the paint, but the irony is they're making the car look worse in doing so.

Rally flaps are just bent...

Yup, they really can look arse. That one above is mental.

I've got the standard rear S ones on mine ATM.... Need to fit the front ones lol..

Standard ones or none IMHO

 

[Pettsi]

WRX Clio? ^^

 

[Scott S]

Clio's are 'girly cars' arent they? Surely they should have flaps...

 

[Csp]

Someone i know

I don't know what's worse, the flaps or that sport badge?

I'd rather staple some mad flaps to my face than put them on my Clio.

 

[M40 CUO]

GAY...

 

[Aurron]

Mudflaps on a clio are beyond awful!

 

[jack_kemp]

OP, what the hell is your location all about?

 

[Cunney]

Apparently cars in scotland have to be sold with mud flaps / guards, met a lad at NWP who had bought a 182 from scotland who had renault mud guards on, also the cars have to be fully undersealed due to the harsher winters, again he said it was for all cars sold out of scotland.

Any truth in this? lol

Never been? It's about 2 miles up from Windermere, lovely in the summer

Oh my days.

I don't think it even deserves a reply.

 

[Cunney]

Lol, this guy was convinced it was fact as I was suprised, stops the cars corroding quite so quick

They weren't full on dragging along the road rally flaps, just plastic moulds

 

[Cunney]

This sort of jobbie, they were on the front aswell, did look quite subtle

 

[Goodj]

proper, moulded "flaps" aren't too bad, but then theny're not flaps.

Used to have front and rear "protectors" on the MX-3, rounded off the wheel arches well, and helped keep mud splats down, slightly.

But as for the nail-on, rubber items, nah, gash.

 

[Cunney]

Anybody ever had the moulded one's sprayed up?

not on a Clio, but from my experience, moulded ones must be painted up, else you're just starting down the road of having a 2-tone body kit

Well it would just be black plastic, like the fog light surrounds and mirror base plates so think they would look ok.

Think I might look into them as 'could' possibly suit the car

 

[Goodj]

I'd still say to get them sprayed, but you may work that out yourself after a month or so.

Anyhoo, found a couple of options.

or, this ebay company may have all 4 corners

looking forward to seeing the result.

Couldn't find the other one, damn

 

[DazJ]

Mine used to have mudflaps until we got deep snow and I lost 3. Looked ok, unsure what they would have looked like colourcoded though
