the macan will suffer from road rash along the underside of each sill from front to around the centre of the car, the rear valance will be badly rashed due to the width of the rear tyres.
It will not be visible but if you run your hand along these areas you will find it.
because ethe rear end is wider than the front, the rear door and the front side of the rear wings also suffer from road rash, hence the plastic protective strip which is now factory fitted to protect the leading edge of the rear wings.

PPF is available for all panels and all of mine have them, despite me doing less off-roading in this Gen 3 with its 20" wheels :(

I find that most fitted mudflaps stick out too much from the arches, but they do the job. When I had my MB C class I bought a set of stick on (+1 screw into the bottom arch liner) black painted aluminium archguards from a company called Carbonwurks and they kept most of the tar and grit off the sides of the car. Unfortunately they don't make them for the Macan but there is a similar set in plastic available from Automotive passion .

Looks good to me.

I'd be looking to fit similar as well, as I do spend quite a bit of time driving down rough muddy tracks at weekends.

They're not mudflaps as such , but I've found a set of carbon fibre , very thin, splashguards for the Macan which are similar to the alloy ones I had on the front of my MB C class . The road to the reservoir that I kayak on can be muddy in patches and the side of the Macan gets plastered with dirt and the local farmers also like to put muck on the roads as well as their fields.
They weren't cheap £99.00 for the four and they're fixed using 3M VHD tape, the alloy set on my C class never came off in 4 years of use.
