Any photos of installed flaps. May invest in some if you chaps out there think they do a job of reducing muck up the sides and back of the motor.

Here are the mudflaps I got from Superskoda and I had my dealer fit them for £20

 

I paid £80 to the dealer to get the car fitted with them on delivery.

Wow. I think I will open "GaSelle´s Mud Flap Fitting Service".

You could make money on that just with buyers from Denmark, however by the time someone in the UK has paid to get to Denmark the local UK Dealer will work out a lot cheaper I expect

For £80 I could buy a return ticket with Ryanair and still earn a little

Today I've finally got around to fitting the mud flaps. It was pretty straightforward. I'll describe the process as best I can. This guide should be used in conjunction with the instructions on the packaging.

 

Tools used:

• Torx 25 socket bit & driver attachment
• Drill with 4mm & 7mm bits
• Pointed mini screwdriver or similar, needs to be less than 2mm wide
• Water pump pliers or similar
• Torch
• Something to lie/kneel on

 

Front nearside - (Without removing the wheel).

1. Turn the steering to full left hand lock to ease access.
2. Offer the front nearside mud flap up to the car to understand where the fixings are. There are fixing points on the vertical part of the wheelarch liner and one underneath. You will create a fourth fixing point by drilling into the plastic liner.
3. Use the Torx bit/driver to remove the two Torx screws on the vertical part of the wheelarch liner.
4. Look underneath and you will see what looks like a screw head, this is actually a plastic push fitting and you'll need your pointed mini screwdriver or similar to push the centre pin through to release the fitting. The pin you've pushed through can be recovered if you wish but both the pin and the push fitting are now redundant.
5. Now take one of the two metal speed clips provided and slide this onto the metalwork of the car body in line with where you've just removed the push fitting from. You'll have to pull the liner back a bit to do this, it's a bit fiddly. Ensure that you fit the clip the correct way up, the larger hole needs to be facing the floor.
6. Offer up the mud flap and put the new Torx screw supplied through the hole underneath, this should locate with the speed clip you've just fitted. Tighten the screw finger tight for now.
7. Replace the two original Torx screws through the other holes on the vertical of the mudflap. Ensure you're happy with the alignment before tightening both, then tighten the screw on the underside.
8. Now you need to drill the plastic wheelarch liner through the one remaining hole on the mud flap. At this point I found it easier to turn the steering to full right hand lock which allowed me to get the drill behind the wheel to drill in a straight line. I drilled a 4mm hole first, then used the 7mm bit to make the final size hole.
9. Insert the push fitting through the hole in the mud flap and into the hole just drilled, push it home tight.
10. That's one fitted, repeat for the front offside.

 

Rear - (Without removing the wheels).

1. Offer up the mud flap to see where the fixings will be.
2. There are two Torx screws underneath which are easily accessible, remove these.
3. I couldn't fit my Torx driver between the screw & the tyre face to remove the two vertical Torx screws. Rather than remove the wheel, I held the Torx socket bit in the mouth of a pair of water pump pliers and used this to start undoing the screw, then removed it by hand. A pair of pliers would probably do the same job.
4. Then offer up the mud flap, fix the inner most underside screw first, finger tight.
5. The top of the mud flap has a 'hook' which needs to be persuaded to go behind the fold of the bumper, it will go with a little gentle persuasion.
6. Replace the two vertical Torx screws using the pliers to tighten up.
7. Replace the second underside screw and tighten the first screw properly
8. That's it, repeat for the other side.

Please note that the rear mud flaps also come with speed clips and screws for the underside which UK cars (well mine at least) do not require.

 

Apologies for the lack of photos but hopefully someone will find this useful. 

 

Cheers.

Finally fitted my front ones today. Very useful guide to read first, thanks.

 

I just used a 7mm HSS drill bit, didn't bother with a pilot.

Reviving an old thread here... It seems that mud flaps would be a practical addition to the S3. 

 

Does anyone have photos of what the car looks like as a whole with the mud flaps installed?

 

I'm pondering the thought of installing mud flaps on a Petrol Blue S3 hatch with 18-inch Anthracite Pegasus rims.

 

Thanks! 

I've got this picture. It isn't perfect but gives you an idea of what they are like from a distance. Petrol Blue as well 

 

 

 

I have them on my black S2 and they blend in fine but they will stick out like a sore thumb on my S3 business grey so I'll give them a miss this time round. Down to personal choice nothing more.

Personally I don’t think they do,

Thank so much for the quick uploads dstev2000 and Gizmo68! I actually think the mud flaps complete the looks of the cars on 19-inch rims. Hopefully they'll have a similar effect complementing 18-inch rims too. 

 

philpix I think the mud flaps blend in rather well with Petrol Blue and Business Grey alike!

... they will stick out like a sore thumb on my S3 business grey

Another view on a business grey S3 - I think they are pretty discreet.

OK you have convinced me guys. Cheers Phil

Excellent instructions, thank you Pete. They made the exercise very easy and quicker, not to mention cheaper (courtesy of SuperSkoda) than taking to a dealer.

I just fitted these myself today. It's an easy DIY job that should take about 30 mins to fit both front and rear.

The price of these on SuperSkoda makes it a no brainer.

 

The rears are easier to fit as you don't need to mess about fitting the metal brackets as they are already in place.

Just an update on the mud flaps. I've had mine fitted for quite a while now and they do a really good job of keeping the lower quarters of the rear bumper and the front parts of the sills free of dirt, debris and those awful blobs of rubber and tar you get thrown up from the tyres that can be a pig to clean off. 

 

There is a slight variation with the installation if you have an AdBlue tank fitted, which sits behind the rear bumper on the offside corner of the car. The supplied metal clips come into play IIRC. 

Fitted mine this weekend. Many thanks to Pete T for the tutorial. Purchased the flaps from SuperSkoda website and my car is a Quartz Grey L&K. 

Fitted mine today using Pete Ts advice, many thanks. Did need to fit the rear clips on my MY17 UK spec car.

Purchased front and rear from eBay for AU$24 (14GDB). Fitted perfectly. Took all of 10mins to fit.

Also found a UK EBay site selling them for 17GDP.

Put the rears on my estate today in sub-zero temperatures (maybe a slight exaggeration there, but it was bloody cold)

 

Couldn't persuade the upper plastic 'clip' to go over the bumper, and ended up snapping it off 

 

Having said that it doesn't bring a great deal to the party, and is still very secure with the four screws

Doesn't the Škoda price include fitting or did you buy the elsewhere?

Bought from Superskoda for less than £30 for both front and rear

Front & rear mudflaps on order from Superskoda 

 

Hopefully, the fitment guides will ensure a smooth fitment in the near future. 

Mudflaps arrived yesterday, fitted the rear ones in the evening
