......mud flaps that is!!!

Can't decide whether or not to put mud flaps on the nova when its done.

It's either

1. The ones with Vaux/ GM / Opel. symbol
2. White sparco ones.
3. None

Car is a million mi off wanting them I know. But looks like this.

I took m ine off two cars as they were just water traps. Never noticed the difference visually after a few days.

Mmmm

Like the pics of the black one L33 LEG.
Gives the back end a very square starnce. (If you get me) suits the car shape.

Not sure about them on the white one. :/

Not a fan of the single badge ones in afraid.

Marc69, I know what you mean by visually not noticing them. There one if them things that don't catch your eye to much if there there or not. (Apart from big white sparco ones ;) )
Normally I'd opt not to have mudflaps as yes there a water trap! And if anything look a bit pants.

But
I've just sprayed the car and I remember how quick the side skirts and bottom of bumper got stone chipped. So it's more for a functional reason now. But looking good still! (To my eye)

Anyone else got pics?
Thanks ;)

I used to have flaps fitted, have been contemplating on fitting them again but I don't like the Vauxhall badge on the ones I got.

They do look a bit crap on the white one but I think it's just the pic. It should look the same as the black one really. I have a few pairs spare if you need some.

I ripped mine off the front the other day, fed up with them catching the tyres on full lock, I was a little concerned it could lead to damaging the wing,

IMO the standard style ones like big chaps or dealer style one but please try to get the correct ones and not the ones with the white gm square,
