All westys w/ propane tanks have the left front mudflap standard, to protect
the propane tank from rocks.  Any other mudflap was optional, and about $80
each, so nobody ever opted for them. Why so expensive? they're actually made
of rubber from a rare, now extinct South American tree found in a remote area
of a rainforest in Brazil. And synonymous with other parts from VW-Brazil,
the quality is very high......
