There you go (not deployable) with Front / Rear mud flaps. It all keeps a lot of road crap off the car plus stones coming up. Ive heard a few hit the underside of the steps since they have been on.

I have flaps on mine. I appreciate the keep some crud of the sides but by heck they are goppingly ugly. I detest how they bulge out rather than being a straight line downwards. They just don't need to be so big.

the front flaps look good but the rears stick out to much and should be smaller like the L405 ones .. ... - .- -.

A must if driving on unsurfaced tracks. Also, reduce spray to following vehicles at high speed, so a safety feature. |

Had all flaps on my TD6 but this one has none on the rear....and all the black bit at the bottom of the bumper behind the wheel is rough as well due to stones being thrown up. Flaps would have stopped that.

When I bought mine it had 10inch wide 22's fitted and had front mud flaps but not rears.

Had them on the Td6 and have them now. Prefer to have them. Each to his own. John

Turbulent air flow at rear causes dirty rear screen. Having flaps minimises the amount of mud, grit, and dust that is sucked up. |

It's a shame they require drilling of bodywork, otherwise I'd try them out...
