Mud flaps worth getting? Does it affect range?

 

[Ranger]

I have them, they protect the side of the car so well my mate mentioned it. They fit well, but have no MG logo on and are expensive.

 

[AdamMGEV]

MG do them for £64... wondered if it was worth it

Plus £100 fitting. I never drove the car without them, so I can't comment on range. But I doubt it's affected.

 

[AdamMGEV]

Oh I assumed MG would just fit them as I haven't got the car yet or could just fit myself?

 

[greentangerine]

I've them and fitted myself. Easy enough.

We ordered mudflaps with our car and it was delivered with them fitted. No sign of an additional charge for fitting.
Dealer was Gillanders of Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. Very pleasant to deal with.

Same as Keith said, 600 miles done now and the mud flaps if anything help keep the back of the car cleaner, they have not reduced my range and the dealer fitted prior to delivery, no fitting charge.

Do you think they look better with mud flaps or without?

They seem to be popular with a number of owners, I have them and think they look better with.

I've asked for them, might as well

15 min job to fit them..dumpy Phillips screwdriver is all you need. I bought the proper MG one's..as you know they will fit.

Ultimately you would probably want to change the screws for stainless one's...just a few quid on ebay.

Do they effect range? Yes of course they would....slightly.....if you had sufficiently sensitive instruments to measure them...in laboratory conditions!

Ye if it's a few miles doesn't matter does it. MG will fit them before I get the car so might as well get them

Are additional holes required to be drilled, or do they screw directly into existing?

 

[Jocko]

Does it affect range?

Probably not as much as an extra half stone on the driver!

 

[Chrispydoc]

No extra holes required if you have the genuine ones.......the slight issue (with mine) where, there are extra long screws need fitting (supplied) but unlike the original screws...they went rusty very shortly after fitting.
I agree about the extra weight.....lockdown syndrome

£12 from Ali express, no difference to the genuine mg ones, take about 20 mins to fit with the screws provided.
