C5 RS6 Mud flaps?

[Jimmy]

Anyone try fitting mud flaps from a 4.2 V8 A6 or an allroad? :vhmmm: Is there such a thing? My blue paint is sand-blasted down to the primer in some spots.

There's this outfit in the UK that sells mudflaps for all manner of euro-cars but I can't seem to find them (I saw it in an old Audi driver mag which I threw out before getting this car)

Any ideas/leads are appreciated ! TIA

The A6 4.2 flaps look like udders

That said, the rears bolt on. The fronts need modification.

An option may be clear bra down there. I have done it and have zero chips on the wheel arches and behind the tires.

Thanx....very true, mudflaps aren't so flattering but I care little about that... they do serve a purpose for those of us driving in the snow-belt.

I only plan on doing the fronts...they will hide the rash and stop the rear flares from getting worse since I'm going to 19x9" rims. I think its more noticeable on the dark color cars too since the primer almost looks white to me.

Had I gotten the car new (LOL) I certainly would have gone for the clear treatment. Its way too late now...

Clear bra is your friend.

15 minutes for the front fenter arches. 40 bucks of material.

5 minutes to put the stuff on the rear arches. 20 bucks of material.

Any ideas/leads are appreciated ! TIAMy gray car came with them on the rear. Have NO idea on what they were originally for. Perhaps an Allroad, A6? Don't know. Here's a pic with them on. I drive through the winter with them on and take them off in the mid spring when I pull the winters for summers. Vice versa in the fall of course.

Texas Mile tape job?

That would entail covering the seams, no?

I wasn't going to comment on the QUALITY of said tape job, but yeah, that's the idea :)...Taping got me 5-6mph on my 996.

Nope, the tape was to get me from Arizona to Minnesota without rock chips.

did the tape do the trick????
