6 series coupe mud flaps/splash guards

Would it look awful with mud flaps/splash guards on a BMW 650i M Sport Coupe? Where I live our country roads can be quite dirty, and its nearly impossible to keep my car clean for more than a day. It just feels pointless washing her as I know within 1 mile off leaving home the car is quite dirty again. Mud Flaps/Splash Guards seem to be my only hope, but I don't want to look terrible. Many thanks guys!!

When I did a search I couldn't find any BMW splash guards for the 6 series. My car has stock wheels and tires and I'm not getting any damage from debris being thrown up by the tires because they seem pretty well "tucked inside" the fenders. And even if they had them, I think they would look horrible.

You must have a dark color car like black. White is much more forgiving.

Totally agree with everything said so far, a bit of dirt is far preferable to ugly mud flaps.
