OK - I know I'm going to get flac.....

But my beast spends at least 25% of its time on narrow muddy wet lanes. So does anyone know if there are OEM mudflaps available, or wjether allroad ones would fit??

There, now I'll get my tweed jacket and pipe...

Just pop down to your local Halfrauds mate. They'll sort you out. May even throw in some furry dice to complete the look.

But seriously, I hear you. Not at all sure about the look, but the practicality is clear for sure. Heck, maybe I'll get some too.

Even that stereotype would kick you out.

Think more along the lines of stained Beige trousers, knitted tank top and a comb over.

Mudflaps on a RS...honestly

OK - under pressure I might admit to one of those attributes....

But this is about practicality, not vanity...

I am in the same place as you but for a different reason. I had spacer on my M5 and they did a fantastic job of stripping the paint on the lower sills etc due to the wheels sticking out further than design. I intend fitting the very small flaps not sure what they are called. I think they look ok and should do a good job.

Not the practicality argument too. It's still a vanity thing, because you wishing to keep it looking 'lovely' for the maximum amount of time possible. Do you pay for a carwash or DIY?

Just remember - A dirty RS is still a cool RS, and mudflaps will always be a crime!

Don't fit spacers then or just PPF the sills.

I think they call the little ones, piss flaps

flaps is the way forward. BIG BLUE ones, might even add a big CB radio arial

Hmm, not entirely sure I agree with your colour recommendations....

Back to the main question - anyone know if the allroad ones will fit??

I think you should just order them up, along with the allroad plastic arch extensions. For the complete look.

Oddly, that was actually a really helpful response!! It answered my question! It looks almost certain that the allroad flaps are designed to mount on the plastic extensions, and so will almost certainly NOT fit the RS.

Maybe I'll have to go down the halfrauds route after all - bother!!

Unless of course they do flaps for the S Line.........

What about something like this?

Won't be too expensive a mistake if you hate the look.

Apart from it says “Please note that this item doesn't fit for Avant model."
