A mudflap assembly 20 for a vehicle 1 includes a mudflap 200 and a bracket 300 for securing mudflap 200 to vehicle 1. Bracket 300 has a laterally extending section (302, Figure 2) and an upwardly extending section 304, with an elongate outboard edge 312 of upwardly extending section 304 shaped to be aligned with an edge 102 of an exterior trim panel 104 defining at least part of a boundary of a wheel arch 106 of vehicle 1. A cross-section shape of an inboard portion of a mudflap-facing surface of upwardly extending section 304, inboard of outboard edge 312, creates in use a gap 306 between the inboard portion and the mudflap 200, so that when bracket 300 secures mudflap 200 to vehicle 1 outboard edge 312 of the upwardly extending section 304 contacts and applies a biasing force on mudflap 200 against edge 102 of trim panel 104. A system and a vehicle are also provided.
