Mud flaps/PPF kits

[m3gt2]

Hi, I know that some have managed to get free front mud flaps from Tesla but I've also seen they have PPF which also comes under all weather protection kits, has anyone managed to get both FOC and do they charge you for fitting?

I know you are probably after a low cost option, but as an alternative, the Xpel Lower Rocker kit which will offer far more protection than the Tesla patches will cost you around £400 fitted.

Thanks, at that price I think I'd rather get the paint redone! It's a car for work and I'd like to keep it looking good as the miles rack up but not to that expense! I fully understand others that don't do much driving or want to keep it for many years investing in such protection. Out of interest why does it offer better protection? Does it cover a larger area or is it thicker PPF?

The PPF in the Tesla kit only covers a small area by the wheel arch, not the entire rocker panel.

Xpel PPF is like Claire Bennet and is self healing...

Rocker Panel Kit (ULTIMATE PLUS) - exact version needs verifying. We got the version that wraps around the panel edges.

or all options Paint Protection Film Pre-Cut Kits

Prices are as supplied as pre-cut kits so indicative relative pricing only. An approved fitter will cut their own from official patterns so pricing will be rolled into the fitting cost.

Has the all weather protection kit become standard fitment now?

I believe so on new and sales told me you can request FOC for existing owners.

My 70 plate M3LR Arrived with front flaps attached. However, it also had a pair of flaps in the frunk - are these intended for the rear or were they left in by mistake?

Any other 70 owners found the same?

They are splash guards for the rear, there are some fitting instructions here: Do It Yourself - Model 3

The additional flaps are extenders for the fitted front ones.

yes! Watched videos and googled away and I figured these were splash guards - so good to see it confirmed here. I do too much city driving that these will scrape and make noise way more than they provide protection (I think...) so for now I’m not fitting them.

do you have a PPF kit?

I note the link above mentions how to fit it but I’ve not yet found it in the car (if it’s there!) I wouldn’t mind some sort of protection from tarmac chips on the roads
