Do I need mud flaps?

[vadimo]

we dont do any off roading or go somewhere muddy

 

but does it still help to keep the body/fenders clean?

 

I also think it might look good with the wide wheel arches (black surround trim) ?

 

[eribaMotters]

I can only comment on those [very similar] fitted to my Yeti.

They are small but they do make a difference, even if only a little one. and any improvement is a welcome one. They also look correct and do not cost a lot.

we ordered mud flaps on our Edition as we live out in the sticks and suffer a lot with mud splashes in the winter and tar in the summer. When we collected the car last week, there were no mudflaps on the front as there is currently a shortage. That said, I haven't noticed the mudflaps on the back either so they're either inconspicuous or we've been conned. |Going to clean it tomorrow so must remember to look!!

Got mudflaps for mine for the same reasons as Bowdie. I'm also missing the front ones, which are on backorder.  The rear ones are quite small - the ones on my Fabia were also small, but they seemed to work. 

[Bowdie]

 Finally got our front mudflaps and rear rubber mats fitted Tuesday

Always fit mud flaps an all cars I have had , saves no end of dirt , road salt flicking up onto bodywork

Do you mind me asking Bowdie, was this at your supplying dealer?

 

I don't think there was anything on the configurator so we didn't spec them with the original order and I forgot to ask.

 

Picked the car up last week so asked yesterday and the Parts Dept quoted £200 fitted!! I could hear the lad in the background asking "is there much involved in fitting Karoq mudflaps".

 

The fitted price listed at http://www.skoda.co.uk/SiteCollectionImages/Models/downloads/Karoq-Accessories-Pricing.pdf is £124 and I baulked even at that, never mind obviously made up numbers like £200

I bought front and rear for under £50 and fitted them myself in under an hour.

[Bowdie]

Our dealer threw in Life Shine and I think the protection pack came as part of that. Front and rear mudflaps, front and rear rubber mats and boot liner. Not sure of the cost as the dealer threw it in as part of the deal. We've had the same (I think) Life Shine pack quoted on the Scout we have on order and it's £387 which looks to make £200 just for mud flaps seem hellish expensive.

I know Vectis. I've read and re-read your how-to a dozen times, seeing if I could psyche myself up

It's made up. The Karoq official accessories list quotes £124 fitted and that's bad enough.

 

Just been sent the feedback thing from Skoda. That experience had been fed back, no danger.

The mud flaps are only 17€ for each set on Superskoda.

You only need to take the wheel off and drill two holes looking at the instructions.

You can do it without taking the wheel off.

Oh now I'm having a funny turn.

 

The rears don't need the wheels off, and the fronts are OK with the wheels on full lock and an angled drill?

 

Added them to my favourites list on SS.

I used an angle drill as I had one, but could get in there with my bosch cordless drill, never had to take the wheels off when I fitted them to my Yeti, Octavia and now the Karoq.

I'm looking to purchase some mud flaps (at SS price it seems very worthwhile).  Will also look to fit myself so if a guide is available, a link would be appreciated.

 Looks like instructions are in the packs.

 

My finger is hovering over the 'buy right angle drill chuck' as we speak. Well, it'll come in for other stuff, right?

 

But I wish SS would get more stuff in so that shipping costs are better value.

I put a bit of a description here:

Going through Listers on this site they didn't work out much dearer after shipping was taken into consideration and delivery was a lot quicker, I bought rubber mats as well and it was only a few pounds dearer than ss but was here in 2 days.

Hi Vectis

 

Can I pick your brains please? I've taken the Phylosan (it fortifies the over 40's) and I'm going to have a go with the mudflaps. 

 

Mr Amazon is sending me an angled drill chuck. I'm going to order the mudflaps from Mike at Listers. His service and price on the double sided bootmat was brilliant.

 

Before I email him, the official accessories price list at http://www.skoda.co.uk/SiteCollectionImages/Models/downloads/Karoq-Accessories-Pricing.pdf shows the fronts with a high or low option viz:

 

Front mud flaps (high version) 57A075111A

Front mud flaps (low version) 57A075111

 

Do you know if this is just a styling thing? My SE doesn't have trims on the wheel arches. Superskoda quote the 57A075111 as fitting "all Karoq models with OEM protective wheel housing (PR-6EE)" but I'm not sure what that means 

 

Looks to be just the one option of 57A075101 on the rears.

 

I'd be so grateful if you could shine any light on this.

 

TIA.

 

Mike

[TheRoq]

This website explains it a bit more clearly http://www.skodapartsireland.ie/search,i.html?q=karoq

The ...111A part number is for cars WITH the black plastic wheelarch.

How much are the mudflaps from Listers? It's £45 delivered for both sets from this company in Ireland.

I believe the high ones with the A after the part number are for the cars with the trim around the  wheel arch. I don't have the trim and fitted the ones without the A in the part number.

[TheRoq]

Can someone please post a pic of their Karoq with the mudflaps fitted.

All I can find is close up pictures of the mudflaps, it would be nice to see the whole car with them on.

Thanks!

[Macdemon]

I'm collecting mine in less than 48hrs so will be happy to post photos.
