The steps and flaps hide the profile of the lower edge, which is a nod to the boat-hull shape of the Classic.

Sticking more crap on isn't the way to make something look better (e.g. every body kit, everywhere).

I agree with Trommel, the body kits are not my cup of tea and I wouldn't put the mudflaps on (but won't take them off either).

That doesn't mean I can appreciate a nicely done up car, it is just that I wouldn't spend money on it since I like the original car more. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

so i would like to join the debate by showing two examples of FF's , both stornoway grey but one with flpas/steps [muttleys] and the other without [mine]

opinions please,

Mutley - please don't feel insulted because your still looks nice, but I much prefer without.

Without

Flaps, steps off years ago, no tints, my preferred look although as per pic, SWMBO needs ladders to get in

Looks wise I think I prefer it with side steps.

For me, without makes the car look like there is something missing and in need of some sort of side skirt to finish/complete the sill area.

Practicality wise I know I prefer having sidesteps and mudflaps. 2024 P550e Autobiography

Its got flaps?

As - I think - demonstrated by Stan's post of his and Muttley's, I always think that a RR with protruding steps and mudflaps almost looks more fully laden and rear heavy, as if the back end is hunkered down and the front end is slightly more pointing skywards. Obviously, if you have that perception, it follows that a RR without looks a little more streamlined and toned.

If a vehicle design based on an aerodynamic house brick can look streamlined that is

Both styles are very nice and it's also nice, when buying a used car, to be able to choose your favoured colour and spec with or without these additions

Gaz, if that was directed at my pics then they are the black things hanging down just behind each wheel attached to the forward edge of the back of the wheel arch

I see, grammar ambiguous, like flaps as 4 miles up a farm track but personally think steps ruin the clean look and as I must be getting old, I am beginning to like the tint-less look also as an aside as I look at the photos can anyone identify the car next to the L322, £10 donation to the forum as I couldn't from that picture and its mine
