Terramar mudflaps

Terramar mudflaps - its the time of year when the roads are filthy and the big wheels of the Terramar throw stuff up the sides and onto the tailgate. Cupra do mudflaps, they don't completely eliminate the issue but they do reduce it. Got some genuine items from Cox Autoparts: Terramar mudflaps

While the front mud flaps should reduce the amount of dirt and road spray along the sills and - to some extent - the lower sections of the doors, IMHO the rear mud flaps don’t do much if anything to stop a dirty tailgate.

The aerodynamic effect of the car being driven forwards creates an area of reduced air pressure behind the rear of the car and that area of lower air pressure will result in road dirt and road spray being ‘sucked’ onto the tailgate and rear screen. This will happen whether or not rear mud flaps are fitted. Some cars I’ve owned have had mud flaps and others haven’t and IMHO there’s been pretty much no difference in the amount of dirt drawn onto the rear of the car. The rear mud flaps ought to help stop dirt build up and road debris damage to the area immediately behind the mud flaps though.

I'd agree - it's not a total cure but it certainly helps - the price will put many people off I'm sure.
