 You need to read the relevant ADRs. So it would seem that all jurisdictions require mudflaps where the bodywork behind the rear wheels is above 230mm but I guess not WA - the odd ball. Have you noticed how just about all new 4wds and trailers have mudflaps - not there to save money. 07MY RRS TDV6 Arctic Frost Aspen Interior | ||

| Col Member Since: 02 Sep 2012 Location: Hawkes Bay NZ Posts: 5156      | The problem is fleabay list them to fit all 2005-2013 Sports, but they don't, the 10-13 Autobiography rear's are different due to the shape of the bumper (VPLSP0015) although I believe you can "bodge" the standard flaps (VPLSP0016) on to the A/B if you wished guess it depends on what the individuals standards are. I imagine the price mentioned is for genuine L/R one's which should at least fit correctly. For some reason L/R never did rear flaps for the old HST either.

| Meiang Member Since: 29 Apr 2011 Location: Perth Posts: 427      | I took my car in for a service today at my local dealer and none of the new or secondhand Range Rover Sports had mudflaps - not one. I guess we don't like mudflaps (or splash guards), but then its a 4WD and supposed to get dirty. | ||
