Hi Guys

 

Recently I was hit in the rear by another car, responsibility was accepted and car was repaired.

 

When it came back the badges were missing from the rear and a few things weren't right and didn't look the same.  Car has gone back to have these rectified, 

 

Anyway one of the issues I have is the rear wheel arches, just doesn't look right.  Could anyone with a FL vRS please send me pics of the rear wheel arches particularly the back side, as I am sure there was a lining on mine before it went back.  The garage is disputing this but was hoping to get some pics of other cars to see if it's the same,  Haven't been able to see one parked up and it's hard to see when they drive past.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 

You mean the inner guard liners? They are there in my FL Estate? Presumably if you look up a workshop manual you will see instructions showing the presence of liners. Or if you called TPS or a dealer they would give you a part number for your VIN or someone on here might have an etka schematic.

mine has liners too

2012 vrs fl

Thanks guys, any chance of a photo please?  I've been to a dealer and they say yes but the repairer are saying no.  If I get a pic they'll have no choice but to put them on.

My 2012 FL vRS has full liners in the rear arches. Unfortunately the liners are not visible in the photos I have of the car; particularly as it is a black car.

Would need a wheel taken off and a strong light to enable the liners to be clearly seen?

I should be able to try to get a photo. Visibility a bit of a problem with the wheels on. I'll see how I go tomorrow, bit wet now. Mine is an estate, hopefully not different to hatch.

luckily my car is white so here you go.

the liners are like a sort of plastic brush type similar to a floor matt.

Beautiful. Don't have to crawl around my car in the wet now!

Thanks much appreciated, that's brilliant. Is your liner flush with the wheel arch as below or is it indented like mine?  I recollect that the rear was flush too.

 

Top pic is front and bottom is rear

Yeah they have that weird carpet stuff in them. (Does anyone know why they are actually made

of that rather than say a smooth plastic?!)

I know as I had the wheels off mine a while back to clean everything off in there!

The gap is correct I assume it's because the arch liners are the same on all Octavia's but the vrs bumper is different.

As for the front it looks to me like it's just been incorrectly fitted.

Nothing missing
