Mud flaps, to have or to not?!

[ukaskew]

Had a good pre-winter clean of my Cup on Saturday and noticed that the area behind the front wheels was quite messed up (nothing I couldn't clean and polish out thankfully), is it best to bung some flaps on there for the winter months? Can't say I'm generally a fan of them but anything to protect my baby a bit!

And if so, which ones and from where?!

No No No No No No No No No!!!!!!!!!!

Regular wash and wax rather than mud flaps imo

the front ones renault do....... maybe
the back ones they do....... no

not really a fan of the universal ones altho freebones valver looks hardcore with them

thought renault didnt do mudflaps for the RenaultSport range? i do like the dynamique with mudflaps though, think it looks better

^^^^ agree on freebones they look mental.... but on a 172/182 noooooo

In the summer I wouldn't argue with this, but considering Sundays are the only chance for me to wash it in the winter it can be 5 or 6 weeks before I get a chance it doesn't always work out that easy.

Not even some super-subtle black ones trimmed and hidden as much as practically possible?!

Would be the way to go if you must, hopefully someone will post a pic in the other thread.

No

mudflaps should be left for evo/subaru owners, they look laughable on a clio, but then im not a fan of the stickyback plastic brigade. pointless to trim them right down as they wont be doing much of a job eh

no mud flaps are for poofs
