Guest BennyXRT Guests Posted 08/06/04 08:48 PM Share Posted 08/06/04 08:48 PM phantomxr6turbo said: yeah I have the same problem the phantom color is hard enough to keep clean at the best of times so im going to but them on at the next service:)Try having a white car!!! I can wash my car, then take it for a 10min drive (on a dry road) and there will be dirt and dust all over the back! The mud spats helped, but I still have to clean it twice a week!It sucks, but its worth it.Ben Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11216-filthy-back-end/page/2/#findComment-132151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted 08/06/04 09:26 PM Share Posted 08/06/04 09:26 PM Hey Modi,dont get your flaps mixed up with your spats,SPATS is what you want,flaps are like on a truck,big flap of rubber flapping in the wind.Spats are moulded thin rubber things that go with the flow of the car.SPATS not flapsvik Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11216-filthy-back-end/page/2/#findComment-132155 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear does get dirty but I have more trouble with the fronts spitting up crap all down the side of the car on dirt roads :o Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11216-filthy-back-end/page/2/#findComment-132211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
