I have bought front and rear sets of mudflaps for our Citigo and have hit a major rear pair fitting problem (the fron were no problem). The flaps (Up! V1S0075101) come, as those who have already fitted them to a Citigo know, with plastic pieces for the inside of the bumper and are held in place by spring clips. I found the clips far too tight to push or even gently tap on (as per fitting diagram), tried unsuccessfully to widen them, then shattered both the plastic pieces! Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated: it is not clear from the diagram, but I am assuming that the clips fit on the outside of the plastic on the outer of the bumper as well as into the obvious guides on the inside.

My Skoda dealer has spoken with their local area Skoda tech guy and he is adamant that the Up! flaps will not fit the Citigo. Hence, presumably, my failed attempts and waste of money. They are not prepared to offer a refund, as they are a VW and not Skoda listed part. So, if anyone wants a pair of rear flaps with fittings apart from the plastic mating pieces, PM me!

So how did Liam's dealer (see post above) manage to fit the VW Up flaps to the Citigo?

They do fit, and to the same profile wheel arch/rear valance as the Up. As said the spring clips are a very tight fitting and need to be tapped into place, with care though.

Some of the chaps above, or someone else, who fitted their own flaps, would be best to respond to you. My dealer fitted mine by removing a small piece of rubber to make them sit better, as did MickA above.. I'm sure he (mechanic) fitted the clips, but said to me that he had drilled the holes as well. Could your flaps be fitted by forgetting about the clips and just using drilled holes. Did you read MickA's fitting procedure in his post above, in case it might be helpful in that regard?

Edit: Ah, I see MickA has just dealt with this.
