Please film and post on youtube. I has become a pet hobby of mine to torture incompetent VW dealerships  :whistle:

Sent a message to my dealer. He replied saying that the Mk7.5 Golf mud flaps are in stock.

Just got my facelift GTI and went to fit mudflaps purchased online from a VW dealer. They were specifically for the GTI but the rears didn't fit! There is a cutaway in the flap to fit over the black edging on the bumper which was way too small. Careful cutting with a scalpel (I had to cut quite a lot of material out) got them to fit perfectly. 20 minutes to do the job.

msroswell is quite right - this can be done.  Have been to my dealer today to view the car which has arrived early and the mechanics had fitted mudflaps all round.  Yes they had to cut away a bit more on the rears to accommodate the new valance as there are no Mk7.5 direct fit rears available yet, but the job is done and the Salesman agreed the car looked better for it.  4 weeks today I'll have it in the flesh - All mines  :cool:

I went to look at my car on Saturday. It had the mud flaps fitted. They looked really good. I didn't know the rears had to be cut to fit. :huh:

Never been a fan of mud flaps.... My dad is though, loves them on his Subaru Forester. He is 73 though and lives in the country  :smiley:

Love the mudflaps on my new Indium Grey GTI. They work really well with the new plastic trim on the front and side of the car and make it look a bit more agressive
