They dont! They give the car a more complete look i think. Fitted mine last month and I love the look, plus it makes it look more lowered with them and the springs. I got mine from SteveP when I ordered my R lights. Probably best to go straight to VW Kev. keep away from cheap ebay copies! :angry:

Well for some strange reason the rear mud flaps for the GTI are a different part number.   :wink:

1 set of rear mud flaps - 5K0 075 105 - £52.23

Standard
1 set of rear mud flaps - 5K0 075 101 - £39.40

Oh I forgot the fronts.

1 set of front mud flaps - 5K0 075 111 - £34

They do fronts only in combination with side member trim

1 set of front mud flaps - 5K0 075 112 - no price

I reckon 90% of the world's mudflap production is sold in the UK. You never see them in other countries, especially on modern sports cars.

Probably....
I suspect 90% of the worlds salt and grit is applied to the UK roads as the average UK motorist is too stupid to buy appropriate tyres for the weather...and expect the council to rectify their stupididy by making their summer tyres work in the ice....so people fit mudflaps to stop the crud peppering the sides of the car.

You don't see them on Sports Cars in the UK either!  :evil:

Depends on which part of the UK you do your driving though. I live in the South West (England) and the temperature rarely stays below the 7 degrees recommended for winter tyres. So you then have the quandry of jacking the car up and changing wheels every day depending on whether there's a frost or not. You can see why people can't be arsed or aren't educated to run on winter tyres as it has been rare in recent history to actually need decent winter tyres. Apart from the last two winters I can't even remember the last time I had to buy a can of de-icer. Where I live even last winter we only had a couple of days of light snow all winter.

Coupled to that the average UK motorist is a f**king moron IMHO!

Thanks.  :smiley: You captured the colour really well too, something i constantly fail at.

Do you guys feel the mudflaps make a big difference to the amount of muck that ends up on the side of the car?

This the first car I have had without mudflaps.
The mudflaps on previous cars looked good and lowered the stance of the cars. However, in every case their surfaces started looking very worn after 18 months and I had to change them for new ones. They did collect a lot of muck, but did not prevent all the muck from peppering the sides of the car. They seem to work, but I am not too sure oF their looks on a GTi as yet.

I had them on the Leon (same style as the mk6 golf ones) but i never was sure if they actually made a difference or not :undecided: apart from i kept catching them when going down high curbs  :embarassed:
The mk6 does seem to throw up alot of muck up the sides though. :sad:

Well I don't particularly like the pic. I was given a mobile a few weeks ago so I thought I would take a few pics to try it out. I was a sunny day so it showed the suns glare. I'm used to a normal SLR that you can add filters.

Anyway I've always had mud flaps as I bought the basic protection pack when I ordered it so I haven't driven it without. I've heard threads on VW forums that as if mud flaps reduce the dirt. It must reduce some.  :wink:

I love that colour and the flaps don't look too bad on the darker shades, you definately need some sort of dressing on your tyres though cos they look like off road rubber at the minute. :grin:

The mudflaps look fine on a dark coloured car. Hardly noticeable tbo. That blue is really nice.

I wouldn't put them on my candy white car though, as I think they would stick out like a sore thumb and spoil the look. I clean my car at least a couple of times a week as I'm a fussy bugger and enjoy doing it, so need for mudlaps anyway.

Yes I didn't prepare it just for an excellent photo it just had a quick wash and drove it around until I could find a suitable backdrop and it rained while I was out. I couldn't find anything suitable that was taken in a carpark a couple of hundred yards from where I live. I just wanted to try the phone out.

I have got some tyre dressing but it doesn't last like tyre paint but I don't like tyre paint its too shiny. I will remember to black the tyres next time.

Cheers for your comments guys, I bet you wished you'd had a Shadow Blue now? Its actually a funny colour, in sunlight like that it doesn't look too bad. I general light it looks a very dark blue.  :wink:
