[Weeguy]

Any one installed oem mudguards to 2023 VRS estate?

if so any installation issues/paintwork damage?

I have fitted to a 2021 VRS estate so I assume the same but too a total of about 1/2 hr and no issues and does

not affect the paint

No major issues with installation.

But I had some issues with the rear ones leaving marks on the bumper. Looks like the ridges on the guard have grinded of some paint. Not at all points, but just on some. Will try to find some pictures what I mean.

Photo’s appreciated.

could the ridges on guard be smoothed before install?

There are a few ridges on the inside of the guard where the guard meets the bumper. I guess to maintain some distance betwwen the guard and the bumper. Some of the caused a mark in the pains. I think some of them actually wnt through the pains since you can see black plastic of the bumper.

this year I shaved off all the ridges and applied a thin self adhesive foam from the top to the bottom of the guard. Will see in spring the outcome.

+1 on this. Installed front and rear, relatively easy job and no issues to report.
