XC60 Mud flaps yes or no

Hal9000 · Jul 17th, 2015, 18:38

Has anyone fitted or had fitted mudflaps to their xc60
Was thinking about getting them but I will never go off road so do I need them.

Yes, fit them - they keep the sides of the car much cleaner, but not when you off road the car,methought they probably do reduce the crud that makes it to the sides

very much personal choice but 2 x xc60s and never missed not having them (and both of them did light off roading on a regular basis). Haven't got them on my V40 either. No issues without them cars still scrub up very nicely!

I would say a must

Absolute must. You could also try the Ovlov ones from China which are much cheaper and apparently are a perfect fit.

A must for me - I have had them fitted to all of my cars over the years, it just helps to keep some of the muck off of the sides of the car.

In my experience it is better to have mudflaps fitted. The XC60 ones are fairly unobtrusive.

As useful as the search function on the forum.

Present car is a Honda CRV which came with mudflaps as standard and did keep the back and sides a bit cleaner. New xc60 is white and will be towing a caravan so although not essential they are definitely worth having. I got them fitted as part of the deal when buying the car.

Another definitely yes for both sets.
Helps to keep the side of the car clean, and also helps to give the car that SUV look as well.
