No, mudguards make a bike look elegant and well dressed. A bike just isn't complete without them.
It's a matter of personal preference. If you don't like them no-ones going to make you use them (unless you're taking part in a multi-rider event, and then it's for a very good reason - you can take them off again afterwards).
Mudguards or not, the bike in the OP looks great.

Oh that won't do!
It'll have to be a steel frame and steel wheels, with traditinal down tube shifters, you can't fit panniers onto that thing!, I'll tell you what, I might be tempted to do a straight swop for my 1980 Raleigh winner if you throw in a can of coke (might seal the deal) to save you the expense of doing the conversion
In no way is she ugly, but you'll look better on the old winner instead

She would look less ugly if the saddle was level and with a normal handlebar stem (not one pointing to the stars)
With 'Raleigh' all over her you could be fighting a losing battle though!

I think she's pretty. I might be slightly biased though
What's wrong with that stem? It's at a perfectly normal angle.

Wouldn't that just put extra pressure on the boney lump just behind his clackerbags?
