On my bike with P55's I attached a section of milk jug to the existing flap, which worked well but was a little noisy when it scraped on the ground, and doesn't look that fantastic. On my bike with P65s I used a section of flat stair tread cut out in a flap shape. I wish they came with a longer fender and flap out of the box, but this works well enough.
