MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Mud Flaps /Stone shields

Having built the car, and now with a view to competing on some gravel surfaces, has anyone seen /bought/or made any mudflaps that are both effective and neat for a Frogeye Sprite?
Particularly the shape of the rear wheelarch is proving difficult, as a flap on the lip curls forward, or if placed on the line of the inner arch leaves a large part of the front of the lower wing unprotected.
Any ideas or photographs gratefully received.

I cant say for the frog

But I have both flaps and headlight gaurds.... I like them both.

The flaps came from moss and do a great job keeping grim off the side of the car... draw back, dont put the car in reverse esp on a upward hill or going in reverse.over a speed bump or lip... the flap catches ground and then gets caught between the ground and the tire and ZIP, its gone

I have the chrome head light rock gaurds, why ? purely for looks... and they do look great, BUT if leeft in the rain they do rust fairly soon and look bad.... do they work keepjng rocks from busting the head lights, I guess they would, ive never followed anyone that close, at that type of speed on a gravel road that the car in front would throw a rock at my head light

For me racing is secondary, having a great looking car that can compete but never needing to prove it, is what im all about
