You can see how the curve of the guard doesn't follow the tyre...
Depends if you build your bikes for IG likes or for actual use.
A guard that exactly follows the tyre is less functional than one where the gap increases towards the front.

I don't really get what you're saying. Why don't you make the gap at the back the same as towards the front? Or the one towards the front the same as at the back, however you want to see it. Surely it would be just as functional, as well as better looking?
My point is that you can't achieve this with the stays being so far up the mudguard; you have to settle for the curve of the guard at that point, decided by the manufacturer.

I don't get the placement of the mudguard stays on these guards, especially the rear one. You can see how the curve of the guard doesn't follow the tyre, as a result of that I think (there is now way to dial them in perfectly).
I think that bike woud be a lot better with unpainted mudguards and black tyres. Still a bit silly, but not as bad as it is now.
