Just fitted these:

 

 

 

 

 

 

They're the ones from skoda-parts, and don't take too much fitting, just have to remove the old plastic sill end covers and refit these. Should fit other versions of the felicia aswell, van, combi, and pick-up. Not a 100% if they would fit a favorit.

I must admit that they don't stop the dirt, just make the dirt/spray more diffuse up the side of the car. Also they scrape on speed bumps if your heavily laden.

 

 

 

Good to know.

 

I've had mudflaps on a few cars before and I'm not sure they do a lot and less depending on the car they're fitted to.  If yours don't stop the dirt much then unless they stop chipping the minuses could be more than any plusses.  They can cause more mud and snow build up and they could cause more drag lowering your mpg (whether noticeable for you I don't know).

 

The flaps look reasonably high in those photos (unless it's just the angles of the shots) so could it be the humps are high, car over-laden, tired springs, going too fast or any permutation of combination of listed.

Here is an example from me.

Right rear mudflap was missing when I bought the car. Forman has a long rear bumper

 

and the bottom side of the bumper is arched to the middle of the car. That creates a suitable place to gather snow slush at winter. That winter, before I installed a new mudflap set, the car had collected 5-10kg worth of frozen snow slush inside that side of the bumper. I couldn't remove that solid body for days. While the other side, which had a mudflap, had collected none.

Sorry but I couldn't resist to post this picture:

Here are some true mudflaps.   You can't risk masking the sponsors' vinyls with mud right?

Fair enough different cars different results.  I notice in your photo the car appears to be sitting at correct/factory ride height whereas many cars particularly now may have very tired suspension and sit lower or they've been lowered on purpose.

 

Here for decades we got next to no lying snow around where I live, however I remember going over a road near Ravenstonedale which had just been chipped and on the incline I could feel the effects of the drag as the chippings piled up behind the front wheels with mudflaps and we couldn't stop as the 'Caravan Club' had a washing line and dogs out.

You have keen eyes. That Forman looks high because it has modified strut mountings. They did on purpose. That car was on sale when I saw its pictures. They claimed it was a rebuild. The asking price at time was about €6250. I have more pictures of that car.

I collect interesting Fav./Fel. pictures. Beautiful rebuilds, interesting ideas, weird modifications etc. I can start a new topic and post these pictures on a regular basis. (If anyone would be interested)

Nothing beats the experience from real life. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks.  I should have added my car did sit lower so the mudflaps were lower and at one time had the wrong lower front road springs on, whether this was at that time I can't remember now.

Yes they are a little bit high in length that's why i cut the front few cm.

My car is lowered 3mm at least and many times those mudflaps were touching the pavement-concrete etc trying to enter a repair-shop for example producing an unpleasant noise.

This has eventually happened because of the mudflaps constantly scraping across speed humps :-( 

 

 

And on the drivers side the whole protruding area has split away due to wind resistance at motorway speeds.
