    Evening bigjock. I think that something like this has been mentioned before. Apparantly on the 5-door it's even worse and Ford did a recall to install some special stone chip protectors :)

    Theres a thread about it somewhere, maybe 2 or 3 months back. The fix was some sticky-backed-clingfilm to go around the rear edge of the back door sills.

    Personally I recommend the official Ford branded mudflaps. They are the best ever. In fact, if I had a choice between the flaps or the car it would be the flaps first every time...

    maybe not, but they're still good none the less :) (go buy some)

    Here is the other thread. There are some pics of the fix in there too.

    100 cans of Super T? You'll only have to go without for a couple of days then bigjock! Maybe substitute with some meths to tide you over :)
