Title: My mud flaps scrape on drive!
Post by: MarcIV on 23 February 2014, 11:21

Hi, (http://)
I have problems getting out of my drive, as my golfs slightly lowered the mud flaps catch and so I would like to buy some rubber one so there will be no problem, although I don't want cheap ones.
Is there anyone selling a full set? Or that can direct me to some

 Thanks !  :grin: :grin:

tbh the rubber mud flaps look really bad on any car if I was you I would just remove them completely

Mine scrapes all the time too. Sometimes the anni splitter catches. Either remove them altogether or get used to it. It's at least a warning that the ground is close I know if rather be warned by plastic than metal.

Just remove the mud flaps, they look crap on a Mk4 anyway :grin:

For the record, I managed this on Friday :laugh:

Speed bump + thinking I had more air in each bag then I actually did = loud bang and big wince :grin:

I can imagine quite a big wince. I caught my anni front in a multi-storey yest and had a wince too. But I think you win!

I'd be more inclined to dig the driveway up. Especially if I had to take the bumper off
