Simple question. Is it worth the bother buying and fitting mud flaps? 2002 Honda VFR800

I fitted front and rear LR mudflaps,front are more difficult to fit. Do they work? I dont think I would bother again!!!! They look OK. |

You might benefit from the front bib spoiler if you drive through puddles lots as they stop so much water spray forwards and up on to the window Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis |

My FL2 HSE looks better I think since I fitted mine. They help a little bit to keep the car clean on road. Off road they do make a bigger difference. |

Had them on my first Freelander, didn't bother on my second. Can't say I've noticed much difference and both Freelanders were Baltic Blue. |

I vote for mud flaps, they do protect the paintwork to a degree and look good on the car, along with roof rails and the side protection strips.....but then I am biased! Upgraded to an ex demo, 7 mth old, Rimini Red/Ebony Napoli Auto HSE on 28th Jan 2011, added roof rails, mudflaps and side strips.
