Do you have any left, the rears usually get wrecked easily. However they do a good job when in one piece. What I meant was: are there any front ones as they may help to prevent the damage to the plastic below the doors.
I modified my rear flaps so they kept the shape of the OEM one, works well. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Thanks,
Just curious as to whether the 4WD system and / or drive wheels would have an influence on the rear's chipping.

PSC,
I note that all my Discoverys (incl D3) recommend higher tyre pressures o the rear versus the front. To me this is an indication that they (the designers) know that it is harder on the rear tyres...
