mud guards

is it possible to fit mud guards without taking the wheels off?  not bought any yet, thinking of doing the job myself.

Just to confirm it’s mudflaps you are referring to. I fitted front and rears. Turning the front wheels gives sufficient access to fit them. I think the rears were too tight and I had to remove the wheels, but it might be possible with a small ratchet and bar.  No drilling necessary the holes are pre moulded and correspond with the arch liners.

yes its mudflaps, thanks for your info. looking at after market ones on amazon at the moment, but will decide later, if they are just as good as original.

there's a lot on around 35-45 pounds for a complete set. wondered if anyone can suggest any one, or ones to avoid. thanks

If you’re not in a hurry for them I bought mine off Ali Express for about £20 and they were decent, still on a year later.  Just ensure they include fitting for a GTI as many of the others do not fit.

Fitted mud flaps today without taking the wheels off , no problems. Bought them from AliExpress for about £15 and they are a great fit. You get a torq and star/Philips driver (90 degree driver which allows you to remove and refit the screws).

It's says out of stock on my order page, but when I searched the store from I bought I found them again and even cheaper. You will see my review in review section.

Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out!
