Default A6- Mud Guards?

Just picked up my new 2016 A6 3.0 Prestige (loving it) and have noticed I get quiet a bit of mud (I'm in NYC so it not real mud) on front doors and rear fenders driving around after a rain storm.


Anyone put mud guards on their A6? do they look OK? or do they just look stupid on a luxury car?

These would look great on your car, no?



Seriously, you don't mention if you have S-line but if you do, Audi's splash guards will not fit due to the rocker panels.
I'm not a fan, in any case; to me they would look silly on an A6 or A7.

no s-line unless Prestige trim has some of the s-line panels.
I'm starting to think they don't really work on the car and I'll just have to learn to wash it more often.

Aesthetically I do not think they work on the car. Besides that I had them on a Nissan Altima once and they got damaged from snow drifts and one was ripped off hitting a major pothole. So for me no more mud guards. They can trap slush and road crap that unless rinsed/cleaned out frequently might well speed up the onset of rust and corrosion.
