Hello folks! Has any of you tried to fit non OEM mud flaps to Octavia 4? It seems the genuine moulded ones are too short and they will not prevent the crap going onto the car. Especially the front ones. I will appreciate any pictures as well.

Hi GrumpyOldGit, I had a read at the thread before posting, but still, my question is if I can find mud flaps longer than the OEM ones. They just seem to be very short and not providing enough protection from road debris, especially during the winter season when most of the roads are covered with sand(stone chips) and salt, at least in Bulgaria 😞 

As a comparison, I had genuine mud flaps installed on my previous Focus MK 3.5 and they seemed to do a decent job, but the front ones were twice longer than those provided for Octavia 4...

My apologies for not reading more carefully your question.

I fitted the Skoda ones from that thread. I also thought they were too short when compared to my previous car but they look better in my opinion.

I haven't been through a winter yet so can't comment on their effectiveness with salt/grit. I did holiday on a farm and was surprised at the lack of mud sprayed up the sides, wheel arches still very dirty though. Also the greater clearance of the shorter style came in useful with some rough single track roads.

 

Hopefully someone will be able to assist you better.

I had Skoda ones fitted on delivery of my new Octy in late 2021. I was really pleased with their minimalist and sporty design which ties in perfectly with my vRS’s styling. They’ve worked perfectly throughout 2022. Recommended
