Abstract: A splashguard capable of being applied to a wide variety of motor vehicles comprises a primary panel, a secondary panel having an area substantially less than the primary panel, and a tertiary panel. The primary panel has an outer edge, an inner edge, a bottom edge, and a top edge. The primary panel also has a forward splash-deflecting surface and an opposite rearward surface, the rearward surface being attachable directly to the wheel arch of a motor vehicle. The primary panel is elastically deformable to conform with the curvature of the wheel arch for a wide variety of motor vehicles. The secondary panel depends from the outer edge and the bottom edge of the primary panel and forms an angle of less than 180.degree. with the forward surface of the primary panel. The secondary panel has a proximal edge connected to the primary panel and a distal edge, the distal edge of the secondary panel lying substantially in a single plane. The tertiary panel depends from the distal edge of the secondary panel.
