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



But they look shocking!?!?   :lipsrsealed:

But so does chipped paint on the sills !

Asked my dealer a few weeks back about mud flaps for my Ed.30 ( reason being i live on a farm with a messy driveway) was told they won't be making any to fit Ed.30.

As I said in reply #2, the fronts from the standard GTI will fit.  Regarding the rears, well trot along to your local stealer, and ask them to get a set of R32 rears out of a box, and actually try them for size on your Ed30.  I had to do the same thing for the rears on my S4 (the standard A4 fronts fitted, but none fitted the rear).

Cheers for that T.T. don't really want them on as i feel it will spoil the look of the car, but living where i do it is more a nessesity.

Trouble is black mudflaps will stick out a mile on a, say, red or silver car. At least on the GTi they look like an extension of the black trim and match the colour of these bits.

You can DEFINATELY get front mud flaps to fit, as the dealer in Aberdeen has them on their demonstrator.

If I can get rears that fit I will have them fitted - the car is grey and you shouldnt notice them too much.  Like everyone says, they save stone chips, and even stop the car getting quite so dirty!
