He fits ok, he’s very long in the body and tall. I had a ZS and a MG5 and the MG5 has the best boot space out of the 3 (although hight wise he crouched a bit), ZS is a little taller space wise. For Kobi dog the MG4 is much easier to get in and out as the rear sill is much lower and shorter so he just steps in and out.

Thanks Alan, Nala will be pleased to hear that!

Had my Ali mudflaps on for ~1000miles. One of the front one's failed yesterday - motorway driving in slush/standing water. Remains still bolted to car..

I am thinking about mudflaps but a bit concerned that people have had failures with them.

How many have their mudflaps intact and working well after a few months?

I've not had any problems with mine, and they've been on the car for a couple of months now. They coped well during the snow and I can't say I've noticed any detrimental effect on range or increase in wind noise.
I'm of the opinion that if one did break for any reason, they're so inexpensive and easy to install that I'd simply replace it. I think they're well worth the small effort

They might have caught them going over a kerb or speed hump.

Mine are still good after nearly 2,000 miles. Better that they fail if hit hard than being so stiff that it damages the cars panels.

I've had mine on for several months - no issues at all. (Even when I'd missed a screw fitting, which I only realised after watching @Alansurfer's video)

tsedge · Mar 15, 2023

Ok, I am reassured, thanks all, I have ordered some.

Don't think it's just an MG thing, my boss has a Jag suv and lost 1 only difference is he pays more for 1 than we do for 4

If the efficiency hit is measurable in real world driving I'd be suprised, but apparently even the flush door handles on teslas is enough to give a small improvement.

Small as in minute

I think mine were £20 delivered - if they fall off tomorow - still expectional value to take away side road rash?

Agreed. Got mine for £14, but I have yet to fit them.

If you don't want to take the wheel off I recommend you get a right angled ratchet screwdriver first.

No tools supplied in the kit I got, so

You'll likely need a long screw bit (or an extender piece) to be able to use that with the bottom (underneath) mudflap fixing.

I just used a standard hex screwdriver bit in a 1/4 drive socket

Thinking of getting a set of these

Have noticed though that there's plastic and rubber versions on Ali Express

Anyone have any thoughts on which material would be best?
