Which model did you get? The Laredo never came with front parking sensors, only the limited & overland.

I asked at the spares dept and it's a $500 option but eBay $365. Superchicken should be able to clarify, he sells Jeeps.

Well i just removed the rear mudflaps on my MY13.

Took off the winglets from the front air dam as well.

The front mud flaps were removed when the rock rails were fitted, so figured i might as well even it up.

Looks a lot cleaner, and I've also noticed a lot of SUV's without them - the missus tiguan doesn't have any.

Might be an issue after the lift… but I'm willing to chance it.

Why remove the front mudflap...Just cut a shaped hole to allow the rockrail to protrude through...Did this with the Commander and my mates have done the same with their WK2s and I'll do it with mine when I get my rails next week. I'll get a pic of how my mate has done it if you like.

Ah sorry mate - I'm not looking for them. I was asking your model WK2 as the comment you made about Jeep removing the front parking sensors was confusing me - they never have supplied the with the Laredo, only with Limited and overland.

It was more for my info - not kept upto date with MY14 features.

Kev.

I took the original rigid plastic flaps off mu 2013 Laredo and replaced them with flexible rubber ones. They are the same size as the original ones.

The flexible ones are far less likely to get torn off on a track...
