As long as you keep it clean in there then fine. Whip them off every year after the winter to give it a good clean out and there should be no probs.

Go for it Simon! Protect those lower panels from stone chips. 
My touring has had flaps on for the last 6 years with no flap-related rot issues. All the talk of flaps causing rot is bollox. Practically every car I've ever owned over the last 30-odd years has had flaps and none of them had rot anywhere near the flaps.

The mudflaps used to scrape and bang on the ground a bit on my touring sometimes, which is the main thing that made me remove them. Even though the car is only lowered a small amount, I find it a pain to clean if the in the arches with mudflaps on.
Probably handy to have on your touring as you do a few miles in it.

My red one pictured was on boge dampers and 40mm spax springs. I used to be able to get the mud flaps to scrape when going for it on my favourite back roads in the corners 
It was a soft setup with stock roll bars but still. Used to sh!t me up at first until i worked it out!
I'll get a fitting kit ordered up

Now the mudflap histeria has died down it back to business and to answer tomsons question yes a wash happened today in the sun to rid it of all the winters sh!te! A ruddy good scrub everywhere!
Nice and clean, shes just ticked over 187,000 miles
Spoiler is well f**ked i know. I need to get it repaired
Epic camber on the front!
With the e36 which is also clean. Engine bay and inside need a clean too but the MOT runs out tuesday
So need to get another ticket for her this week.
I'm getting itches to get A/C retro fitted possibly and maybe see if a Z3 can be made to work with the 6 branch. What do we think?
Must mean we've had it nearly 2 years! Where did that go
