Mud flaps? You mean those rubber things they used to have on Vauxhall Vivas? Not on an E90 surely?

Did you get a full tank of fuel and rubber floor mats as well

A nice pin stripe is a nice dealer option with mud flaps

Aw don't be cruel! I always spec mud flaps on any car I buy it keeps the shit from going down the sides (I work at a construction site) however this was the first one I didn't and it p;sses me right off when i've washed it at weekend drive into the car park at work and there's clart all down the side of the car

It does look better without though
