I have recently purchased a TDV8 which I am very pleased with. It's a 2007 57 Vogue in black with matching black interior.

It doesn't have any side steps or tubes which I prefer, but also doesn't have any mud flaps either, so it's very "naked". I don't know if it looks a bit TOO bare.

Do you think it would look better with or without mud flaps? I'm finding it hard to decide!

My 2006 has mud guards and I wish it didn't, if the mud flaps are fitted correctly it's irreversible as they require holes drilled through the side of the lower front wing trim and the side of the rear bumper.

I don't dislike them enough to fill the holes and get the bits repainted, but I personally think the naked look looks most modern.

no, hate them, front flaps and steps look rear flaps look spaz from behind, JMHO

yes from me, and a tow bar...its a range rover, a luxurious work horse not a poncy posing machine. 2004 black Vogue TD6

No from me, Land Rover mud flaps need to be long flappy rubber things!

i'm sure there was a poll on this 6 ish months ago??

What sad lives we live!!

Yes towbar + flaps for the Bucanneer Caravel behind, helps to keep the muck/stones off. Ian

It's a big yes from me I also think they look bare without them and they keep the spray down. I do However hate side steps but love the chrome bars! I also think light guards add a nice touch. But keep away from the bling

Thanks for the replies guys.

I make that: YES=3 NO=3

So, a draw so far!

It seems there is support in equal measure for both options.

yes front and rears!!! with out them the car looks 'naked' doesn't look right for me with out the flaps.

The flaps are a must lol

F & R flaps for me plus towbar and front nudge bar and still sorting out what side bars to install . And I haven't even taken deliverey of my TD6 yet

Mine had f + R mud flaps and side tubes when I bought it, wasn't mad on the tubes but they have grown on me.

The flaps make it look chunkier and fat which is the way I like it  06 4.2 SC Bonatti Grey/ Ivory

For a road car flaps front and rear and side steps for the missus, the kids and my little legs

If your going off road (big time!) then no flaps or the floppy ones .
