Mud Flaps
« on: 02 July 2012, 19:04 »
Does anyone know why these wouldnt fit the GTI?  Im trying to look for the front ones similar to Neil GTI's ones?  Does anyone happen to know the part number?

Cheers

the fronts are all the same but the rears need to be GTI specific as its a different bumper

As said, the GTI has a different rear bumper, and the R/35 have Blue Motion side skirts. From memory, I paid around £60 for my standard ones from TPS. I can't see why GTI ones would be any more money.

Fitting them is a doddle, just take the wheels off to get better screwdriver access.

I dont want the rears, just the fronts to try and stop the stone chips down the side of the car.

They'll be fine then, but why not just buy a pair of fronts from TPS?

Cheers, might have to give them a ring tomorrow and go for a little trip.

Do they come as a full set or will you be able to just buy the fronts??
