I recommend to drill, otherwise it will not fit tight to the mudguard. Is only plastic, no fear 😝

Nice, I need some for the front of mine. Some strange reason it only has them on the back. How much were they?

Decided to fit the OE mudflaps today, pretty simple job and didn't take longer than 30-40 mins. Heres the lowdown.

 

If you follow this guide you do so at your own risk

 

 

Car is a Superb Estate Sportline 4x4, photos are from front passenger side and drivers rear.

 

Part numbers

Front - 3VO 075 111

Back - 3VO 075 101

Tools needed

Torx 25 bit and ratchet

Pliers

Electric drill (right angle if you have one)

7mm drill bit

 

The mudflaps come with all fittings required.

 

Front Mudflap fitting

I managed to fit them with the wheels still attached, a right angle drill would make it much easier.

 

1. Put wheels on full lock

2. Remove 2 x torx screws attaching wheel arch liner/wheel arch

3. Remove plastic plug (little plug in the middle of the photo) holding undertray to wheel arch liner (I used pliers for this)

4. Separate undertray from wheel arch liner and fit captive nut (from the fitting kit) where the plastic plug was.

5. Offer up mudflap and mark location of hole

6. Drill hole with 7mm drill bit

 

7. Offer up mudflap and hope the hole you drilled is in the right place.

8. Fit 3 x torx screws 2 (original) fit into the wheel arch/wheel arch liner and 1 (new from fitting kit) fits underneath into the new captive nut.

9. Fit plastic plug (from fitting kit) into your correctly located freshly drilled hole.

10. Job done now do the same again for the other side of the car.

 

Rear Mudflap fitting

The two sides are slightly different. I'll add comments where it differs.

 

1. Remove 2 x torx screws from wheel arch liner/wheel arch

2. Remove 2 x trox screws from sill and underneath the car (not required on passenger side)

3. Passenger side only, fit 2 x captive nuts (from the fitting kit) to sill and undertray

4. Offer up Mudflap, ensure that the hook at the top hooks inside the wheel arch

5. Insert 4 x tork screws, 2 original into wheel arch liner/wheel arch, 2 new (from fitting kit) into sill and underneath car arch liner.

6. Job done, now do the same again for the other side of the car.

 

Quite please with how they look, looking at the car normally you can hardly even notice them.

 

Yes I know it’s been a long time BUT, I used this “tutorial” today and had my mudflats fitted in 45 minutes without removing a wheel. Hugely useful. Thank you for posting. 👍🏼
