My F56 Cooper seems to accumulate more mud and grit from local rural roads on the rear than everywhere else on the car put together so I'm thinking of fitting mudflaps; I'd guess that the minimal rear overhang is the main contributing factor. Guess I'd be looking at rear initially.
Has anyone fitted mudflaps themselves and, in particular, has any comments on how effective they are at reducing crap thrown up by the tyres?
Thanks!

It won't be the tyres it's all to do with aerodynamics I believe. the R56 is the exact same, made worse by fitting a GP2 diffuser
Cheers, Eddie! I just realised that I omitted the most vital piece of information from my post - I'm looking at fitting mudflaps not diffuser.Originally Posted by Eddie_JCW

It's ok :) I know you weren't fitting a diffuser but I have, hence the reason I know it's aerodynamics that cause the MINIs to be filthy at the back. It's been a problem since day one on them but I believe they're getting better with each generation
And even worse if you have a GP with no rear wiperIt won't be the tyres it's all to do with aerodynamics I believe. the R56 is the exact same, made worse by fitting a GP2 diffuser

Who looks out the rear window anyway lol :):)
You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.
Helps with looking for blue lights
