8th January 2007, 19:21

I like them on rally cars and that is it

8th January 2007, 19:23

i have the citroen ones on the car n i like them, but alot of ppl dont, but there is sum of us out there that do, plus makes the car look lower lol

8th January 2007, 19:24

My car they look phat.

8th January 2007, 19:25

ok this olops in winter mode....

but see he has flaps i think theyre tidy

I've just bought some off ebay, plain black ones, should look quite nice, I think it makes the car look lower, keeps it a bit cleaner too..

I think the key to getting the look right on mud flaps is to have them the same colour (or colour scheme) as the car.

So black cars look fine with them on + they save your bodywork.

I like them as well as being there for a reason and not just looking pretty, go for it IMO

10th January 2007, 17:06

Like most things its all a case of personal opuion, I had Sparco mudflaps on a White RSturbo look a likey and with my White RSturbo wheels it REALLY gave that early 90s Rally theme I was after.

If your looking for Pure euro then mudflaps are not really in keepin but they do serve a usefull job and dont standout to much, I personally think they look fine, also good point about making the car look lower.

Best thing of all . . . If you dont like em you can take em off in 5mins :-)

If you like em get em, I would.

Alicia... I only said what I did because you said exactly the same to me a long time ago about Euro styling and themes

I knew you'd bite

11th January 2007, 13:29

I want them to serve there purpose mainly as i drive 50 miles each way to work down a dirty road! :-( i found these on ebay:

What you think of them? the thing is i think they will look silly as the corners are square i want the outside one to go round if you get me?

11th January 2007, 13:32

If you need them then its cool
But I think they can ruin the lines of nice cars sometimes.
