As a constant motorway driver (due to being a photographer travelling up and down to Newcastle) I always find my back end getting dirty (ey up) on my little panda, so I find im washing it at least 3 days a week! Can't turn up for jobs with a dirty car!

Seen some moulded full mud guards that use the original arch screws and just wondering how much difference they actually make..

My pandas coming on pretty euro with the styling I've done over the year of having it, and just wondering what people's opinions are on moulded mud flaps!

I bought a set when I bought the car. I thought the plastic looked horribly cheap. Also you needed to drill the arch liner to install them. I never fitted them.

You could fit a rear spoiler, that'll alter the airflow and reduce some of the muck caught up in the rear turbulence.

Proibably very little to the cleanliness of the tailgate, though they will offer some protection to the wheel arch.

As has been said, it's the airflow around the car that causes the back to get dirty.

I fitted them to both my panda 4x4 petrol when I had it and now my 4x4 Cross. They do reduce the amount of spray and dirt but certainly don't stop it!

save your money, get a sponge and a water bottle, muck runs down back window and settles on bumper. mines like it every day and we have a pressure washer at work connected up all the time.
now got fed up of washing it
