I got a set of genuine Skoda ones from Caffyn's (via Ebay) haven't had a chance to fit them as yet but just wondering what size drill bit is required for drilling the rear bumper for fitting?

Hi,

 

I just did mine at the weekend.  the instructions state tat initially use a 3mm to drill the pilot holes and then enlarge it with an 8mm drill.  The key to doing this correctly is to ensure that the template is fitted and secured correctly.  I ended up having to extend the holes a bit to get the mudflaps to fit and even then I ended up breaking off a couple of the locating spigots off the mudflaps.  They are on and appear to be secure, but I am in the process of trying to get hold of a few extra of the clips that they include 2 of in the kit of the just to ensure that they are on securely. 

 

It certainly was not a simple job and is riddled with pitfalls!  Given my experience in fitting these, I would definitely opt to let a dealer do it - at least if they mess it up, you have some recourse.

Oh great sounds like a pita compared to the set I fitted on roomsters and fabias in the past 

Volunteered to fit some for my dad's for his birthday 

 

New to this forum and this is my first post, so apologies if this is covered elsewhere. Can anyone confirm that standard Up!/Citigo front /rear mudflaps fit a 2016 Citigo Monte Carlo?

I don't see why not, just be careful which ones you buy, I know the design differs at least for the rear mud flaps, one design is a rather ugly "square" shape and really doesn't compliment the rear bumpers shape where as the curved rear mud flap looks far better and compliments the car more.

 

This is the square design -

 

 

And this is the more curved design -

 

 

At the end of the day it's up to you which one you do get and both should fit without much issue, but the bottom one definitely looks nicest IMO  

Any partnumbers for the two different designs ?

So I know what to look for and what to avoid

 

For the rear I'll need some that can be combined with an inner wheel arch shiel.

Check this topic and download the PDF - guy who fitted his arch liners had rear mudflaps already https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/281237-rear-wheel-arch-liners/

 

As for part numbers, I have the mudflaps that are in the second picture, if I remember tomorrow, I can have a look for a part number

Me too please. The square design is a little more appealing as this looks as though it will be more effective reducing spray out the back of the car. We live up a country road, reducing muck sprayed onto the car is a priority!

Has anyone fitted to front of monte carlo citigo as dealer sais may need a mod. Dont see why as wing looks same on all citigo models to me.

 

Thanks

No mod necessary unless your Citigo has side skirts in which case they won't fit, otherwise it's a very simple job.

Hmm...I am suprised at this, given they are from the same factory/production line more or less.

Only ever seen one Mii on the road so not really had chance to have a look at the rear profile of the bumper.

Can you post a picture up of it, could you tell from that the difference?

Mick

The white one is my 2017 Mii the red one is a 2016 Up. They look identical to me!

Sorry the pictures are missing from the 1st post in this thread, I would correct it but I've deleted them now from my PC. Thanks to Photobucket I deleted my account there too.

Hi everyone I've just fitted front mud flaps to my 2018 Citigo very easy to do just 3 torx 25 screws each side. I don't fancy the rears yet due to drilling the rear bumper. Hopefully thy will keep the sills less stone chipped. 

Hi, I'm new to this sort of thing. This is something I'd like to fit on my Citigo but I like to see the images - how is this done? Thank you 

Hi Cadyw,

Welcome to the forum.

I only fitted front mud flaps to mine, very easy to do with out removing the front wheels. To get better access turn the steering wheel right to undo the  3 torx25 driver side then opposite lock for the other three screws. By the way use a short screw driver or small wrench. I hope this helps.

Thank you jelly18

It's the rear ones that are most important.....

Check out "rust around petrol filler", for Up"/Citigo/Mii on the web....

@freemansteve you mean the wheel arch liners, not the mud flaps 😅

 

@MickA I am curious about the plastic parts and clips for the rear mud flaps. Do you have any photo of how they are installed? Clips are really tight and instructions have a photo of a hammer 🔨 😅 it looks like the plastic piece are not study enough to hammer those metal clips. Very strange, a photo would be great.

Indeed - the wheel arch liners are a must, but the mudflaps don't really help much.

Details in this post when I fitted them:-

 

 

Thanks. AG Falco

@AGFalco Thanks, but I was asking for installation photos of the mudflap clips on rear bumper. 😅

From memory:-

 

Three plastic clips. drill hole first, push clip in then push/tap in centre bar to lock in place.

 

One Metal spring clip:- Line up and push/tap in to place.

 

Thanks.  AG Falco

@AGFalco thanks the kit came with 6 very hard metal clips and 2 very fragile plastic attachment parts. 

The attachment parts are hard plastic.  One side has thin(~3mm) connection pieces.

I don't think that the plastic will stay in place while hammering the metal pieces. It looks really fragile.

On the thin side, there are holes where the clips go. So only the sides of the clips goes over it.

I was just curious if anybody managed to install these without breaking them.

Different from mine then.

 

They are similar to the front mud flaps I fitted to my 2023 VW UP.

Except you put screws in to the holes.

 

Thanks. AG Falco

This is the part number I have 1S0075101 . It is for 2012-2016 VW Up! models.

https://www.deutsche-parts.co.uk/mud-flap-1s0075101-new-genuine-part.html

 

For VW Up!

2016+ models have bumper part 1S6807421AB and mud flaps 1S0075101A

2012-2016 models have bumper part number 1S6807421P and mud flaps 1S0075101

 

The 2012-2016 model bumpers do not have any  attachment points for the mudflaps. That's why there are some plastic parts which should be clipped first. It is perhaps easy to install other than those plastic clips being so flimsy with so hard metal clips. Not a good combination.

 

So VW fixed a bunch of problems after 2016 I should make a mental note to not buy a new VW vehicle before they make at least one facelift update to that model
