Hi, 

I am after some mud flaps to fit to my 2019 swift, 

Firstly are they worth fitting secondly can you buy purpose made mud flaps to fit directly to the van,

I have a mover on but this will not cause any problem regards fitting them.

Thanks for any comments.

    Our current second hand van came with mud flaps fitted and to be honest I'm thinking of taking them off. 

    They get in the way when I want to put a wheel cover on, they scrape when I take the 'van off the H/S at home and onto the road, they're a pain when using ramps to level on site,  plus I don't actually mind cleaning the caravan so the dirt kicked up by the road doesn't bother me.

    As for the motor mover then they shouldn't cause any problem in fitting as we had a new motor mover put on and the dealer didn't mention it being a pain. The mover will be to the front of the wheel in any case.

    Couldn't agree with you more, cannot see the point of them. Came as fitted on our latest van (not had them on the previous 7). Catch on the levelling ramp. Never had a problem with mud and splatter on sides before either.

    Hi 

    Thanks for the replies, I feel that the responses have all but made my mind up already.

    Maybe not a job I need to bother with.

    They also make it difficult to fit some types of wheel lock. The cross arm cannot clear the mudflap.
