Default wheel arch trim question

after owning my scoob for a little while ive noticed the the drivers side rear arch has a rubber lip all the way around but the pas side dos not

wanting to no are these std or has some one fitted them and ones gone missing

would like to get it put back on as its a good little thing to stop the edge of the arch rusting from stone chips

drivers side with trim




passenger side without

they are just a rubber strip, i think its designed to stop mud etc rotting the arches, just clean them monthly with a hose or jetwash.
they always fall off anyway.

I have to say that I took mine off to prevent mud collecting around the inside of the wheel arch. Without them on, it is now easier to clean the arches to prevent any further rusting.
Just an idea.... and no you can't have them

I recently replaced mine with new ones- jst got from the dealer but waxed thoroughly the inside of them before fitting to avoid getting anything under there.
