Title: Mark 5 Gti Mudflaps
Post by: DeejayGti on 05 October 2006, 01:16: Just wanted to let everyone know who doesnt that mudflaps are now available for the Gti at last. They are Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£60 a set but look good once fitted. Pretty straight forward to fit but need to take all the wheels off.

No problems with fitting and quite a neat fit also :smiley:

That will stop the spray up the side of the car now

Post by: wantmygti on 16 October 2006, 22:22: Too true Phil, I just thought on a new car they might oblige and fit the things. It'll be in the garage anyway! Fitted for free would mean I'm good to drive drive drive when she finally arrives!

Post by: wantmygti on 17 October 2006, 17:14: From the pictures kindly uploaded by overthehill, doesn't the front mudflap look like it will rub and scratch the frong wing in time?

Post by: wantmygti on 08 November 2006, 19:29: Did anyone ever come up with a fitting guide for mudflaps?
Title: Re: Mark 5 Gti Mudflaps
Post by: davyk31 on 09 November 2006, 11:10: I fitted mudflaps to my car last weekend. to be honest I probably spend about 3 hours in total, all wheels need to come off the car. I tried fitting one of the fronts with the wheel still on the car but turned away as much as possible and it does work but quicker to take them off to get better access. The flaps come with really good instructions step by step and its not really a difficult task. Go for it if you are thinking of doing it yourself, and ask me any questions you want. Can give more detail if required. People mentioned the fronts damaging the paintwork but this will not happen because once fitted they do not move and they ar emade of softish rubber too.
