Had them on me old mk4 and my car was not that low abt 45mm, but they use to scrape on bumps and ramps, they use to fray so badley.

I wouldnt never remove them as they protect the cars paint work and makes the car easier to clean.

Ever see those cars with loads of muck on the side of the car like they have been rally driving, I bet ya if you look closely they dont have mud flaps........

Don't quote me on this, but I'm almost certain I read somewhere that mud flaps increase your performance in some way... something to do with the power range or some such technical doings... could be wrong.

Hmmm I would of thougth the reverse as they would create air drag, effect the airflow............

maybe it helps the flow of air get out of the wheel arch or sumin, dont ask me i only have a B at A-level physics
