    D4 Mudflaps

    This topic has probably been brought up before. I was interested to hear some feedback re no mudflaps on the D4. I have just ordered some rear mudflaps. According to ULR the front ones are not needed. I haven't experienced any stone chips as yet. Wondering if anyone else has?

    Based on the mud on my front doors over the weekend I would say they are needed.

    How much are they charging for them?

    The rears were around $170.00. I didn't get a price on the fronts. I did wonder if they would get torn off or not.

    If you have sidesteps it will reduce the risk slightly, but if you want to protect the sides, I think there is no choice but to fit them.

    I would consider removing them before undertaking heavy offroad work on a muddy trail though. I suspect they will get torn off unless you have the shorter rods and more clearance.

    How about this set I've been watching on eBay that is regularly relisted:

    Front:
    DISCOVERY 4 (GCAT) 2010 MODEL FRONT MUD FLAPS GENUINE - eBay, Land Rover, Car Parts, Vehicle Parts Accessories. (end time 07-May-10 09:02:37 AEST)

    Rear:
    DISCOVERY 4 (GCAT) 2010 MODEL REAR MUD FLAPS GENUINE - eBay, Land Rover, Car Parts, Vehicle Parts Accessories. (end time 05-May-10 19:55:36 AEST)

    Looks like <$AUD100 each pair. Shouldn't be $70 for postage? Will it fit?

    Thanks for all that. Seeing as though I don't do much off roading, I think I will get a complete set and unscrew them for the times that I am seriously off road
