MUD FLAPS
« on: 17 November 2009, 13:16 »
My VW dealer tells me I can't have mud flaps - he says can't have them because of the profile of the rear bumper and side skirts - comments appreciated - thanks

Why do you want them? It's not the 1970s anymore.

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

James

You're off again should I? shan't I? could I? would I? I seriously think you need some help man!!! Living in the suburbs you wont need mud flaps, they are only really necessary when you are driving thru some serious s**t!!!.  Plus they are really going to spoil the look of that lovely 3 door tornado red mk6GTI.  However if you don't get down to the dealers now and order this car that we've all been discussing for the last few weeks you will be into mk7 territory!! :grin: come on now get off your bum and go order. :laugh:lol.  That's an order...
