  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  
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

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.

But does it have the little roof spoiler on the back like the MV6?

[HGV mechanic]
