Are inner mud flaps important

[Steven1212]

Hi

i have a 2014 Ford Fiesta which I bought 2 months ago but just realised it’s missing a rear inner mud flap. (Think it’s called that) 

Do you think it’s worth getting another one? Wasn’t sure if it’s to stop rust ?

 

here’s a couple of photos. One with the mud flap and one which is missing 

 

thanks

Also what are the parts called? Can’t for the life of me seem to find anything on googlE about it?

Hi Steven, I can imagine you will be finding it hard to sleep at night with the worry of the missing mini mudflap. 🤣

here's a little bedtime reading that will help. The Fiesta parts catalogue 👍
