Help needed from GTI/GTD mud flap owners

[matt2]

From looking at the pictures it also looks like they have been cut/modified to fit except they are very poorly fitting. Go back and complain.

No, the rear flaps are molded like that. It definitely isn't the garage adapting them, they just don't seem to fit as they come out of the factory.

Is there not a hole in the rear flaps, surely that isn't how they come from the factory?

Has no one else got them fitted yet to compare. There were a few guys on here interested, I was about to order a set but may wait to see what other people get.

The GTD diffuser is the same as the standard Golf's, the GTI is different. Those cut-outs seen are to suit a GTI.

Pretty sure you need standard mudflaps on the back of a GTD, and GTI mudflaps on the front to get the proper fit.

Others have already said the same. Amazed that the dealership technicians didn't figure out that those rears fitted are just plain wrong. Some techs seem to have no common sense about them at all - doing exactly what the instructions from VW say (to the letter) and don't have enough practical engineering know-how to realise that what they've done is wrong and therefore their instructions are wrong.

There are now Ebay listings for MK7 GTi mud flaps from a VW dealer positively stating that they are not suitable for a GTd - get back to your dealer and insist they fit the right ones.

Cheers they are "looking into it" at the moment. I'll give them another day or two and then get back to them......

I emailed that dealer on Ebay. They confirmed a GTD needs the GTi fronts and the standard rears.

Anyone tried it yet?

I have the GTI fronts and they are a perfect fit. Still waiting to hear what the garage say about the rears. I'll give them until Monday and then get grumpy.

Saw a GTI at my local dealer tonight with mudflaps fitted. Looked like they were a perfect fit on it.

Still keen to get something for my GTD but would be keen to hear from anyone who has tried a standard set on the rear.

I collected my GTD last friday, and it came with mudflaps.

They are a perfect fit, but im not sure if they are standard or not, which doesn't really help.

Can I ask which dealer?
