Other topic: I believe the flaps on the rear wheels were actually standard on xk that came with 20‘ wheels from the factory. My MY2011 came with 19‘ so doesn’t have them. But I bought 20‘ Takoba rims for my car last year. Would it make sense to fit these rear mud flaps? If yes, has anyone done it/how hard is it?

edit: just found a thread about the rear flaps: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...ud-flap-74713/

My 2010 XKR has small extensions in the front wheel well in front of the tire. Clevername's picture above illustrates it perfectly. I do not know the purpose of the flap.

I didn't want the road rash on the front lower rocker panel so I mad up a mini flap to stop it. So far for the last few years it has worked well.

Flap in front.

No flap behind.
