After reading the instructions with my tent which are universal for the SIG and standard I'm confused as to what to do with the mudguard  

Instructions say to tuck it under the tent once all is pegged down BUT there are holes through the mudguard for pegging down which indicates it stays out as it would be impossible to tuck them under once pegged out. I left them out on the test pitch but will need to do it properly at the end of October when we will be sleeping in it.

Tuck it under when you pitch it then just pull the groundsheet out of the way while you peg it

The mudflap is pegged under the groundsheet, not on the outside

I didn't think that SIG versions had mud flaps as such. There should be perhaps short straps on the lower outside edge that you peg down, but nothing that pegs down under the inside edge. This would only be on the seperate ground sheet version

Obviously I don't know which make of tent you have so I could be wrong.
