Front or rear?

I have rear flaps on mine with very large tyres (265x40xR17) but have no problems with the flaps catching.

speed bumps
kerbs
traffic wardens
it's really annoying. at first i thought the car was grounding but it just the flaps. trying to source a flexible/ shorter set. any ideas, anyone

That may be because the MV6 has stiffer suspension my front mudflaps scrape like fook

Had this problem too, ended up cutting away the inside edge of the front flaps, you'll see where it's rubbing,  about an inch all told... sorted

so it is defo the Musd floaps rubbing, was beginning to pannick then for a short min, mind you it passed its MOT last week so they would have picked up on any thing suspicious then i rekon

Did wonder if mine was accentuated by worn wishbone rear bushes...  but, yes trim 'em down, sure it'll sort it...DC

No need as I posted in a similar thread recently Omega mudflaps are fully self adjusting they wear away until they don't scrape or they snap off altogether
