ED30 Mud flaps
« on: 16 March 2007, 12:12 »
As usual VW have done their normal thing of not supplying mud flaps for their cars. This time its the ED30.
It was the same problem with the old R32 and then the current Gti. Eventually they made them for the Gti but I guess that was down to numbers. I guess therefore as there are only 1500 ED30's in the uk then they wont bother.
Can you get them for the current R32?

Does anyone know what I could do about getting some aftermarkets? Is anyone is planning to make some up themselves?
Could they be available in Germany?

I saw an ED30 in local dealer with the front flaps fitted only. I assume they fit although they dont show as fitting on the parts screen.

The front flaps will be the same for the GTI, the Ed30 and the R32.  The rears, well all three bumpers look different, though the R32 and the Ed30 do look a little more similar!

Just to protect the sides of the car from stones/grit etc.
Also keeps it cleaner!

has any one got any pics of there Gti with the front flaps on? I am with the view that you should have these one, esspecially in the winter months as it really does keep all the crap off the sides of your car!

If they are just plain smallish black ones they don't look to bad, it is just thoese horrid big red and blue sparco things you see on other cars that are just :sick:

Mine has them on here but I think they are less pronounced on the GTi as the are the same colour as the lower bumper.

They are £60 to buy and £60 again for VW to fit. Thats for all 4. I believe they are available in front/rear pair. I have seen them on ebay but at the same price as VW.

I told my dealer i'd take them supply only, but they screwed up and fitted them for me. So I paid £60 for all 4.

They look Ok but I got them for the protection side of things.

I personally would not bother with the back ones, but I don't think the front ones look to bad. After all they are there for protection and allthough they do not look fantastic I would much rather they where then having my sills and the bottom halfs of the doors covered in chips etc!
