Flaps!

[Baby D]

I drive alot on my days off and in evenings, and also go to the stables alot which involves driving up dirt / stone tracks, do you think its advisable getting mudflaps to protect the paintwork or do you think they look rubbish or serve no purpose?

Bit of a trick title (i predict lots of views with very few replys )

Nicer without mudflaps, but the smaller one don't look terrible. Not sure how useful the small ones are though.

 

[FlameR]

I'd personally perfer to hose down the car everytime I've been down muddy tracks

 

[Timmay]

^ that sounds sexual somehow

 

[Baby D]

Yeah but i do it nearly every day and dont really have time/cant be bothered to wash it every day lol!! Would it not protect from stonechips along the side of the car?

[Paul Common 666]

We are filth in there

 

[FlameR]

I'd happily clean your flaps on a daily basis, I'm a bit far from you though, maybe just once a week?

Scrub flaps with Megs and a good Brush,

Wipe down with a soft cloth


Then open up ..


And lick.

 

[Christopher]

i prefer the pliers and salt method.

for really stubborn stains

 

[TeZ]

Dare i say it...

BANG


and the dirt is gone.

 

[Leeshez]

Small flap yes but other wise i would say no.

gutted.

Wow I don't think CS has ever had such an open discussion about Donna's flaps (or lack of).

I think they look much better without.

 

[Nafoff]

you all have such poor knowledge of flaps.....you must all be gay

advice from a longstanding flap owner

they are brilliant to project your car from stone chips and dirt however you will still get the usual dirt build up from spray....don't be suprised also if the back of your car gets dirtier than usual as the flaps filter it underneath the car at which point it exits up the back

No flaps seems to be an English thing, every car I've bought on the mainland had no flaps. Maybe its cause our roads aren't as good over in NI that we all get the flaps sorted as soon as possible. I think a car doesn't look right without them, especially from the rear.
