Mudflaps on M-Sport Bodykit

Hi, have beed advised by my dealer that I can only get rear mudflaps on my M-Sport. I've only had the car a couple of weeks and have noticed that the rear wheel arches are getting plastered with stones and grit from the front wheels and really want to get front flaps to try and stop this.

Does anyone know of any solutions to this problem - either front mudflaps for the M-Sport, or rear wheel arch clear plastic stick on guards (I used to have a 997 C4S with these becuase of the wider rear arches) that are customer made for the M-Sport arches?

Cheers

Steve

I think the mudflaps look fugly! I realize in some parts of the world they are required by law. If you have the M SPort kit, your wheel arches should be painted, so why not install the clear shield just like the front bumper & hood? That's what I would do!

I am getting the outside edge of the rear mudflaps painted white to match the rest of the painted flairs and bumnpers of my M-Sport when it arrives!

With the mudflaps being all black they stand out to much!
