The mud flaps on these vehicles are very poorly designed. I have torn two rear ones in 6 weeks. They are too sculptured and architectural for their purpose. Equally, the material is too brittle. Are there any after-market models available yet? 05 Discovery 3 SE TDV6 Chawton White with roof rails, driving lights, steel side protection rails. Rego: DISCO3

Non known, bet they shatter in cold weather, like childrens sand spades aren't they.

I have bust all of mine but they are still hanging on.
Now here's the damage for new ones. Rear can be purchased separately for about AU$20-30 each and the front come as a pair and cost AU$130 as a kit.
I've got them set sitting the garage ready to fit when the originals fall off.
Unless you are going to modify the original ones by cutting the bottom off and then fit conveyor belt rubber I reckojn you're going to be stuck with OEMs.
