Fender skirts

Fender skirts, also known as spats in Australia and the United Kingdom, are pieces of bodywork attached to or integrated into a vehicle's fender that cover the upper portions of its wheels. While most commonly found on rear wheels, some designs have featured them on all four wheels. Fender skirts serve aesthetic and aerodynamic purposes and are generally detachable to facilitate tire changes and the installation of snow chains.
