Default Do mud flaps have any street cred at all?!

Ive just ahd loads of body work done on my car and already im noticing little marks down the side...

Anyway, ive seen some mudflaps that are colour coded to the car (white and pink) and wondered whether i would be considered an absolute loser for having them or whether it would look ok...?

The mud flaps are subtle honest! They're primarily white with a tiny bit of pink on the back...!

Its all well and good cleaning it more often, but when youre pregnant, its not the easiest of tasks, nor will i have half the amount of time ive got now when the baby finally arrives - thats why i was considering them.

I wouldnt mind the RS ones actually - are they pricey?

And the reason i ask for peoples opinions is because nine times out of ten, purely because im a girl - most blokes think i have no clue about cars and that really gets on my nerves.
Most of the blokes on here are ok, but ive come across a few w8nkars who are obviously making up for their lack of personality with dumb ass pig-headed comments that deserve to have their nobs hacked off with a slightly rusty hack saw!

Get your bloke to clean it for you!
Proper RS ones are very rare
