Rear wheel arch flaps/extensions/

I recall some of the US guy asking about the little "guard extensions" on the rear wheel arches of the AU cars.

Well, thought this might be of interest to you guys. Its similar to what he have OEM, just in CF, and mounted to the body.

Are they supposed to keep the roos from scratching the paint?

Looks like an aero aid
Standard on euro cars .. Or used to be
Probably a small benefit at > 120 mph
Useless in the land of 55 mph

Nah, it's so the Koalas have something to grab onto at high speeds
