Default Picture of A6 4.2 with mud flaps?

I don't like to add them, but I live at the end of a muddy track and the car gets dirty very quickly.

Does anyone have a picture of their car with mud flaps fitted?

Default Here's a 2.7T w/ mud flaps

They blend in pretty well on black.

The flash makes them stand out more than typical.

Default I don't like snow tires either, but sometimes

function takes precedence over form... especially with these New England winters. They'll come off after the winter.

Default Mud guards are dual purpose. They are an OEM part so it is not as if you were

were going to pep boys or NAPA and bolting on Yosemite Sam. If you like them and they serve the purpose for which you bought them then they are 100% perfect.

They keep your rear well from becoming a sandblasted/rock pocked mess and they also serve the #1 purpose of not throwing rocks and road debris into the windshield of the person behind you.

I regularly travel at speeds where a rock thrown from my wheel could easily do some significant damage to the vehicle behind me (even if I am just passing). The mud guards are a perfect solution for me and since they were designed for the vehicle they are aesthetically acceptable.

This Audi OEM part falls directly into the "who cares what anyone else thinks category." (not that you were seeking approval / disapproval)

You will be more than satisfied with them, especially with the color of YOUR car.

If you like them, that's what counts! Ignore others,esp Chuck, do what you want
