Compost heap behind front mud flaps

Fitted my Skoda off road wheel arch kit this weekend, seemed the temperature was idea for the adhesive. When I removed the front mud flaps to enable fitting, which also loosens the base of the wheel arch liner I was surprised at the number of decaying leaves and whole leaves that were trapped in this area behind the liner, the mud flaps also cover some of the drainage area which might help the leaves to get stuck and build up. Cleaned the whole area out before continuing. We have an oak tree at the front and cop loads of leaves in autumn and 'oakum' around this time of year. The front flaps did not need very much modification to replace after fitting the wheel arch kit.
