AFAIK mud flaps cannot be fitted to cars with the M Kit

Each to their own, I personally think these finish the edges of the arches nicely. Just fitted a set on my new LCI M Sport.

1. They cut down on a lot of the crap being sprayed up the sides of the car (anything to help when you have a black car).
2. They reduce stone chips which I have previously found to be an issue when driving a car with 'wide' wheels, especially during winter months on the UK's grit infested roads.
3. I do actually think they finish the car off better IMHO - some may disagree which is fine.

Here is my car with them fitted:
