I'm convinced they made my Leon look wider and lower so from an aesthetical point they have my vote, will get some pics up when I have time to go in and get them fitted

Just phoned local dealer - £102 for the full set or £172 fitted fricking hell!

Anyone know how hard they are to fit?

You've got a screwdriver right?

Come on man, who needs a dealer to fit mudflaps - what can go wrong??

It'll be 10mm bolts at the worst.

Going on earlier incarnations (I put my dad’s on his MK5, and wheel arches haven't really changed much  :whistle:), it’s about 15-20 mins per corner if you have the tools not to need to take the wheels off. Officially you don’t have the clearance without the wheels off, but with some inventive use of tools (Torx screwdriver bit in the appropriate socket on a very small 3/8” socket set ratchet bar) and a slightly scuffed back of the hand it is possible. It is slow and slightly frustrating due to the lack of clearance, but it just about makes it worthwhile not taking the wheels off.

It'll take 5 mins per corner with the wheels off

There are around 3 torx screws that self-tap into the polythene lining of the wheel arch and one fixes to the underside of the car to stop it flapping about. Easy job for the competent DIYer.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

A nice opportunity to get the winter crap off the hard to reach areas on the wheels then!

Jut got them to look at the instructions with them - wheels need to be removed, 1 hole needs to be drilled inside the wheel arch and one in the bottom of the skirt apparently.... there are 2 screws on each which don't need holes drilled apparently, the rest do.
No way it would be drilled without removing the wheels unfortunately.

I've no proper jack or axle stands so may look into investing in some
