i'm on team modern for this one, they just fit the aesthetic of the new defender better. The old defender is a different animal, it was function over form (which has a beauty of it's own) and the classic flaps looked at home there. But of course style is an opinion, there is no wrong choice.
I have the moderns on mine, going on a road trip this weekend. Nothing offroad however, so the dirty pics might not be all that useful...
I don’t do any rock crawling or anything but this car lives at my house in a ski town. It is mostly used on snowy roads all winter and a lot of fire trails and gravel roads in the summer. I went with the smaller flaps which may have been a mistake but I like the looks better. My 2017 landcruser has essentially the same set from the factory and they have been fine.
