Wow I didn't know that there were design regulations for that sort of thing! But I'd say that even if it were technically illegal, I highly doubt that anyone would ever get pulled up for that. Now you've got me thinking about all those Merc and BMW suvs that never have mudflaps - just a full view of their massive fat boots (especially the X5s)!!

Funny I was sitting behind an X5 yesterday afternoon after reading this thread and pointed it out to the wife. Under new QLD laws thats a hooning offence, get done twice and the cops can impound your vehicle! Would love to see a lawyers new X5 impounded

I agree, highly unlikely to get pulled for that, and even more so in high end SUV's that aren't likely to be modified.
However, once you add a suspension lift (for those with coils springs not fancy air suspension), then it'll be more obvious that you don't have them. I'd think that if you ever got pulled when when the car was stock standard that you could get away with blaming the dealer but once you modify the vehicle height then you'd not get away with that. It'd then be your responsibility.

The 2011-2013 WK2's come with mudflaps fitted as standard from the factory (it was listed on the factory build sheet I got for mine). Did they stop fitting these to the MY14?

Not in the beginning they didn't. The first group of WK's didn't have mudflaps. After about 6 months they started showing up.
