Anyone used the plastic mud flaps?

Russmov · 12-29-2018, 10:27 PM

Just curious if anyone has used the mud flaps for the X5. They look a little silly, but I'm sure they definitely help to keep stuff from flying on the sides.
On a side note, anyone purchased any parts from Alibaba?

Hmm guess no one has experience with these.

There are photos and some feedback, I read about them in some older topic here...

Not a fan of mud flaps myself.

I'm not a huge fan either, just looking for a way to keep the car clean for more than a day in the winter time lol

I saw a previous thread on this and I believe the consensus was it would leave a strange gap in the fender flare if used with M-Sport models.

Yeah I forgot to search the forum first, found the other threads.
After looking at the other threads the front ones don't seem to bad. Definitely wouldn't go with the rears.

Totally understandable. I guess that they can only help so much to keep a car clean, and never really found them that useful.

I don't think they will help even a bit.

You don't think so? Another person in a different thread said that it reduced it.

The way our roads look like in the winter with salt and shit hanging in the air... Not a chance.
