Absolutely noneDo you know is there any problem having those panels as well as the mudsling?

Absolutely none
Thought they were included.
Where did you purchase the side panels from?
It's my next step, as i'm still getting water that's coming up on the right side and sitting on the seat.
You can purchase them from BMW dealer for around £50 for the kit. I tried them, but they made no difference. Sold them on a while ago.
Can't remember what I paid but I think I it was more than that. 70 or 80 from what I recall. Was from a motorrad shop who are on here. Cotswold I think.
I tried the mudsling. Wasn’t that impressed. I use the infill panels and a rear hugger. Much much better
The back of my left thigh got covered in shit despite having a Mudsling fitted. I tried in-fill panels (home made) but that little difference. What has made a difference is a plate to go on the centre stand. Specifically one of these:- https://www.cymarcbikeparts.co.uk/r1200gsa--lc-stand-bash-plate-123-p.asp - Other sources are available. However be aware that Cymarc's plate doesn't fit the stand on a lowered chassis bike, as mine is. I resorted to a session with my bench grinder to make it work.
Or you could just use an old biscuit tin lid and cable tie it on. Which I did initially and found it worked!
Saw a YouTube video at the weekend of the R1250GS Adventure, which had a plastic guard fitted to the centre stand. It looked flared, as if to deflect air flow. It was by Richard Dunn, published on Dec 1st. https://youtu.be/V9VSvhk2RLs Looks like OEM fit.
BMW Part number is 46 63 8 388 657 - Cover centre stand. Which check the local dealer later in the week for price and availability.

It looks like they’ve fitted it the wrong way round, as the bar that gets covered in chips is still exposed

can i ask what and why for is there rubber wrapped around the centre stand???
sorry if this is a suilly question
I think it's over engineered, when a simple neoprene sleeve wrapped around the centre stand bar will do the job perfectly.
