:y :y Good idea matey, i fitted some Vaux's Omega ones not too long ago & they're good at stopping the splashes. Mine where around the £38.00 mark without getting my receipt.
I know what you mean matey about dirty cars, mines black :o :o :o :o
I've washed it this morn & it has some dust that's blown onto it already :(

When you fit them, you have to drill some holes, blob some grease
or waxoyle on the screws & in the holes before you fit them.
Use some washers too, they help to stop you losing them :y

Omega estates are particularly bad for getting the back end dirty as soon as then roads are wet, both of mine have suffered.
Years ago I had a Cavalier estate which had a spoiler above the rear window and that had virtually no spray in the wet.
Perhaps the Elite and Sport estates with a spoiler are better.
-
looks like ur fittting mud flaps then, seal the holes u drill.
