Mud flaps, yikes !!

[sa-r32]

So they arrived on Monday, I couldn't pick them up from the post office until last night. Might try a "dry fit" tonight.

I hope to have a go at installing them this weekend, no instructions but it looks pretty simple.

Just remember pointy bit up.

Mine came with no instructions as well, must believe we know how to do everything down under. If you have problems just PM me. As I have mention to you before, just a small allen key to undo the screws, and you may need to drill a hole for the front ones, I also checked them first on my car before I fitted them.

Dry fit (front and rear) on the drivers side seems ok, the passanger side is against the garage wall so that can wait until the weekend.

The one conern I have is that a large part of the tyre will still be outside the edge of the new flap. That might be completely normal in a CC, and if the flap was as wide as the tyre it would probably look too wide.

I'll have a closer look on the weekend, when I get to dry fit both sides, before I start drilling any holes.

Mud Flaps are on, fit really well, took about 1 hour to do all four.

The front ones required me to drill two small holes into the black plastic cover inside the wheel arch, to fit one screw on each side. This extra screw is really just to locate the flap as it would not be doing much to hold it on. An existing factory screw was used to do the main securing of the flap. I was able to turn the wheels out of the way, therefore I did not have to remove the front wheels.

The rear wheels had to be removed, but I did not need to drill any holes. Two existing factory screws were used to fix it in place.

The flap is molded in the correct shape to fit the body and wheel arch.

Overall very happy result, and the money I saved.

I only just read this thread but I have a set of original VW B6 wagon mudflaps sitting in my shed doing nothing. Had to remove them when lowering the car. If anyone wants them they can make me an offer.

Just installed mine purchased from the same ebay seller for the Passat wagon ($29 shipped).

Have to say the fit and quality is not factory, but NOWHERE near $250 off

Now just have to wait and see if they make a difference in keeping the mud off the side of the car.

Hey oki,

Been a while since you posted this, but do you still have those mud flaps?

Cheers.
