Default XJ-S mud flaps?

A fourm search turned up some info, but nothing particular to the XJ-S Coupe.

I do have the problem of mud collecting on the lower body panel below the door (because our crappy city government lets construction go unabated but never cleans the streets...but anyway).

I'm tempted to make my own out of aluminum. I would use HDPE plastic but I've yet to get paint to stick to the stuff, and if I use aluminum I can paint them the same color as the car. If mine was black it would be ok, but it's Nimbus White.

Do they help? Do they look good...bad? What other considerations are there?

Thanks,

John

I have OEM on back, have not seen any for front.

Maybe a home siding installer have some scraps, they have 24 inch wide rolls that are white and other colors, ask for scraps, cut it to size and get some automotive 1/16 channel trim for going around the edge.

JLM10673 is a "Factory Accessory" mudflap kit from Jaguar. Not sure if it is still available. Might be worth Googling.

Personally I've always thought that mudflaps were a bit too industrial for a Jaguar....but that's just a matter of taste. And, hey, there's a undeniable, practical benefit to having them. What's more, the lower panels covered in mud don't do anything for the appearance of the car, either.

Cheers

I think the oem mud flaps look sharp and I never take my Jag to the mud tracks.
