    Mud flaps

    Are they a thing of the past or do people still put them on new cars? I still struggle with them not being standard equiment on any make of car.

    RE: Mud flaps

    I fitted them to my R32. I used GTi flaps and softened the rear set with a heat gun to make it mold to the shape of the little kick-out the r32 and Pirelli bumper has.

    I use these Mini Splash guards on my Golf R, not too big but still do a good job

    Well VW are offering me a huge discount on a set of 4 installed on my mk7 Golf. $300. May cancel the order after seeing that.

    Negotiated for mud flaps to be fitted to the wife's Jetta. No, it's not a thing of the past

    Yeah i still think mud flaps are a good idea, when i got my MY00 WRX i ordered it with molded mudflaps and had them colour coded along with the side skirts and so on, looked really good. With my R they don't have any available and most of the after market ones i have seem are HUGE, just way too ugly.

    I just got rear ones at $80 (or was it $80 x2) from the dealer to help reduce the dirt on the back. You should eventually find the OEM ones on eBay pretty cheap.
