Turns wheels for easy access
Undo screws
Pull back arch liner
Remove flaps
Screw arch liner back in

I don't remember any pulling back arch liners on mine.

just undid the 3 screws and removed the clip at the top then put the 3 screws back in once removed.

Fairly sure mine tucked in under the arch liner  :undecided:

Either way; it a simple job!

I suppose you can do it either way by the look of it, anyway I've done it now and I'm not sure about it :/ at least it won't scuff no more! Thanks dude's :D

I've got the white VW rear mud flaps and I like the look of them on still! Just the fronts scrapped! I think I would get rid of them if I had some 18's on it as I'm sitting on 17 inch bbs lmrs at the moment! 18s just fill it in a bit better I think!

Rear mud flaps are just a no!

I only fitted the fronts since it's just a case of undoing the existing screws and fitting them. Rears require new holes to screw onto.

I'm fitting my rears as I'm bored of my de-wipered rear screen being covered in mud 10 mins after I wash it all off.

That will happen whether you've got rear mud flaps or not.

Exactly the only difference being mudflats look gay.    :laugh:
