Mud guards

Post by lou9890 » Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:30 pm

Hello all

Can anyone please point me in the right direction to get hold of some Mud guards for a 3.0i sport. the rear of the car is normally covered in mud straight after washing it.

Only ever seen OE ones that look right. Get all four. Two options avail for them depending upon whether you have running boards. The will only reduce the dirt spray though, they won't eliminate it.

The OE rear ones don't fit if you have the Sport Plus package - the wheel arch plastic outer trims are wider with that pack. I am still figuring out how to fit OE flaps to mine without it looking like a lash-up.

My E53 is a 2005 30d Sport and has the OE ones fitted, along with running boards.
