Got these from ebay, Genuine GTI mud flaps, took me 2hrs to fit. looks cool i'm thinking! Has anybody got rear mud flaps on an Edition30, (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Faf259%2Fgorine%2FIMG_2476-1.jpg&hash=6d9a6df758a6fc82547b389abd68b072a9917588)(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1013.photobucket.com%2Falbums%5BIMG%5Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fi1013.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faf259%2Fgorine%2FIMG_2476.jpg&hash=4618e9b31ecd021a7b739a736b2dd3014490169d)/af259/gorine/I(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Faf259%2Fgorine%2FIMG_2478.jpg&hash=a9bd68c9a19392bded595dbc820ecf4206983783)MG_2474.jpg[/IMG]IMG]http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af259/gorine/IMG_2474.jpg[/IMG]

As above you can only fit rear mud flaps to the standard GTI rear bumper. Got both sets on mine. :smiley:

I managed to shoehorn a set on to my ED30. Only after remoulding the rubber slightly using heat. they did not fit exactly, but ok.
You have to hack them about a lot too, pity they did not make Ed 30 variants!

Personally I can't quite get my head around why someone would want to fit mudguards to a GTI unless they live up a farm track. They don't suit the car IMO. But then again, others can't get their heads around other mods such as carbonfibre etc etc.
I don't have mudguards, drive in the countryside throughout the seasons, and don't see an excess of mud on my bodywork.

I dont have them fitted either and agree with your point Robin I dont seem to get muck up the side of the car.
The look of them doesn't offend me though.

ETTO, I think they suit the GTi.
Don't get me started on Fog lights.............. DRL's!
:grin:

These look good. Can you post the link to the ebay store you used? There seems to be many different ones so would feel better using the guy you used.

The seller, 'Silverwagen' is in fact Hayselden VW Barnsley. They (the parts guys who run the ebay shop) are great, and very helpful. I've used them for various bits n bobs. :happy2:
