Hiya fellas,

I have a 2002 GV with no front mud flaps, just the moulded plastic bodywork.

I was thinking mud flaps behind the front tyres would be good at stopping stones etc flicking up and hitting the underside of my bodywork. Whilst I don't have any damage the noise is annoying driving fast dirt.

Would it be worth it? I'll be mounting it a few inches behind the tyre well so it clears my tyres.

Would it add drag and increase fuel consumption much?

Thanks,
Ben

I had front mud flaps on my sierra,
kept a lot of mud off the door handles,
much nicer than grabbing a hand ful of mud everytime I got in.
My Vit will probably get some, too.
Is more important when tyres are outside of body work.

Yes stops you getting a face full of mud.

Is that a piece of perspex?

It is Polyurethane from Bruce over at NBS forum.

I found my pedes used to fling mud perfectly up into the drivers window much to my annoyance. All I needed was a well place piece of rubber about 15cm long, you might want something more substantial like pictured above if you're worried about the paintwork though.
