Does your V70 have rear mudflaps?

Post by FireFox31 »

Does your V70 have rear mudflaps? My 2000 V70 SE does not have them, but I swear my previous 2000 V70 base did. Are they on the XC70, V70R, or even S70 or C70?

I'm removing my rear bumper so need to drill out those rivets. The exhaust and bumper mounts directly behind the wheels are a bit rusty from 20 years of road salt (see attachment), so mudflaps might help that.

They are easily available as part number 9184915, a kit with both rear mudflaps and six rivets. Seems like a deal at about $25, especially since the $2 rivets account for half the price.

Do you have them? Do you think I should add them?

Mine did not have them (98 fwd, pretty high spec) but I bought a set last year. They were quite cheap and my bumper doesn't look like this 2 days after cleaning it :lol:
