Mud flaps - eBay / Volvo comparison V90

Wobbly · Sep 11th, 2019, 17:59

I’m replacing my rear mud flaps because they’re damaged: one has pretty much snapped off (see pic) and the other had split. These were bought from e bay, but I’m replacing them with Volvo parts, and compared them both in the process. They look similar, but there are some differences. The Volvo part seems to be more flexible, and bends easier. The Volvo part is also wider and would catch more spray, especially from wider tyres.

I don’t recall doing anything to break the flap off, but I suppose I could’ve caught a kerb or something.

These pictures may help anyone considering the investment. For my V90 on 18 inch wheels, it’s been worth having them - the car has been cleaner in winter with them fitted.

I just ordered an eBay set...... hoping they keep the spray down but winters won’t be on for a couple of months yet.........

I had a set last week and they don’t fit mine. I think the R Design V90 must be different.
