BlueXR6Turbo The Best Member Donating Members 1,970 Member For: 22y 12d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 04/08/03 10:52 AM Share Posted 04/08/03 10:52 AM Well, I got sick of constantly having mud, grime, etc along the side of my car, so I finally got around to getting some mud spats fitted. I only got them on Friday and it hasn't rained here in Adelaide since then, so I haven't had a real chance to see how much difference they make yet. However, I have noticed a small amount of dirt on the mud spats which would otherwise most likely have ended up on the doors. So at this stage I'm pleased.The forecast is for showers all week here in Adelaide, so I'll let you know how pleased I am or aren't after a few days of rain.

aniken I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it Donating Members 4,316 Member For: 22y 1m 2d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, south west Posted 04/08/03 11:55 AM Share Posted 04/08/03 11:55 AM I dunno. Don't buy 'em thinking it will stop 100% of splatter. I have had vertical mud spatter a few times, which I guess might be better than splashing all over the door but... I will admit that the panels immediately behind the spats are generally cleaner than those that aren't, but visible spatter can still appear (especially on lower part of rear doors).A visible 'spray pattern' can also appear - generally follows the contour of the side skirts, rising higher the further back you go.Or maybe I should just wash the car more often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Keeping in mind they are quite light - sorry bad sense of humor).Anyway - I had the car for 3000kms before I bought them and they certainly make a huge difference.
