Purchased these mudflaps and a red brake caliper painting kit. Hope to get it done this week. Gonna get the cupra splitter and possibly a VRS rear spoiler at some stage soon. 

 

Mine had just been cleaned and then had to park in a field!

Well today I got my mudflaps fitted to the front. Very pleased with them. Just need to get the back ones on which could be more of a challenge. 

 

 

^ They look good, Jimbob

Yes, nice to see something a little different

Thanks guys! I'm very pleased with them. Best bit is they're only £14 from my local car accessory shop for the full set of four. 

Sorry for all the small updates but I finished putting the mudflaps on and I think they look great. Had to use 25mm nylon spacers on the screws on the back ones but they're on well and solid. Just need a VRS Spoiler and a slot cut in the bumper for an exhaust tip and that will be the back end complete.

 

 

What ground clearance do you have from the edge of mudflaps?

I think on the front it's 4 to 5 cm and on the back it's 10 or that. Would have liked them lower but I've left plenty of room if I lower the car 30mm

lower the car 30mm

Do it ^^ :evil:

You've no idea how much I want to but I've 2 grand of insurance, tax, front brakes and possibly an exhaust. I intend to at some stage but I can't see it being for a day or two

Ah I see, well in that case let me rephrase what I said; Do it, at a time that is convenient and affordable for you to do it

Lowering it with 3cm will get you with ~2cm on front and ~7cm on the back. It would be a bit tricky for me to climb a kerb or a steep ramp with the current specs, but with a lowered car, I think I might regret having the mudflaps. Loaded with passengers, it might get worse...

30mm springs would be grand! Brave few of my mates have done it

This mine -35mm supposedly but I don't think it's that low

About the same height wise as mine ^ mine just looks lower because of the front lip

That will be my next purchase [emoji38]

Mine looked like this after fitting H & R springs, its settled a few mm lower after time.Think 17" wheels would fill it better?

I would like some 17 spiders when had a spare £400 [emoji20]

Yea I'm running 17" wheels and I wouldn't want to go anymore than 30 at the front. Could probably get away with 40s in the back to make the car sit level
