Must admit not really sold on the mudflaps but will see how they look in the flesh. Assume if necessary I could remove them!!

I have them on the X6 and paint would not last long. Driving on our local roads is like driving in a wet sandblaster!

If think the mudflaps look good
I'm thinking of getting them on mine
If you use a lot of country lanes,will stop all the sh!t spraying up
I use mostly country lane were we are
Stops those 20's kicking up stuff
Look exactly like mine
Space grey
Best colour

Just three long days to go. This is the hard part. Especially as you know it's sitting at the dealers like a new born puppy waiting for its parents. ::)

Your car looks great, here's to lots and lots of happy motoring miles.

Car looks great! I went for carbon black but next time round I will definitely be looking at grey/silver.

It may just not be showing up in the close up of the rear wheel, but I couldn't see the protection film? Wondered if they don't put it on if you choose mud flaps?

Thanks guys. Have read that the mud flaps are for life as apparently they cut part of the bumper to fit!! Reading all the comments glad it has them as prefer to have less chips and crap on the bodywork. Car is 2 years and apparently saleman is driving it down and picking my car up so must be desperate to do the deal!!

They aren't that bad are they and probably do a good job

I'd be more worried about the scuff on the wheel

I can't believe they have to cut away some of the bumper/trim
Can someone confirm this?
Anyone have any close ups
