2018+ Vantage mudguard options?
Discussion
Hi all,
I'm noticing after a fairly short time having a 2019 Vantage that I've picked up quite a few stone chips on the rear arches, and generally quite a bit of muck down the sides and on skirts.
I've looked online for some small mud guards to fit to the front wheel archs. There is a company called ECPS who makes some carbon ones. Look decent, but are 700 quid which seems insanely expensive. Can't see anyone else making them though and seemingly no OEM ones exist.
Anyone else found some from elsewhere that work and look ok? I'd rather this solution than PPF, as that too will just get peppered with stones.

Can t help you re the mudflaps but you re right regarding the PPF.
I had the rather small factory fit PPF pieces replaced with large ones that come up to the swage line but after 18m they look quite peppered and messy - it really catches the eye.
One tip I would give is to fit some strainer type mesh on the inside of the front vent, as the tyres tend to flick gravel up there too and the standard slots allow it to pass through and onto the concave profile along the door.
It also gathers at the bottom edge of the vent and you can flick it out with the pointy end of a wooden skewer while gently pushing the plastic moulding away from the bodywork - I wouldn t try this if you have the carbon vents though!

Hate this! And when I tried to remove some, I eventually scratched somewhere inside the vent. You can't see it, but still.I have never seen an AM6-gen Vantage with mud flaps, online or real life. VH ones, rarely, online mostly.

Is it a possibility, that the VH Vantage front mud flaps might fit?
