Title: Front Mud Flaps
Post by: Greeners on February 24, 2009, 04:52:32 pm: Im pretty sure I already know the answer to this but I thought I'd ask you guys to confirm.

Being told by my stealer that front Mudflaps (not rear as I know these won't fit) from a GTI will not fit an ED30? Having owned both I know for sure the valance is the same and see no reason why you can't fit GTI front mudflaps to an ED30..............

Can anyone say for sure?

Post by: JPC on February 24, 2009, 09:58:52 pm: Im toying with the idea of fitting flaps (ooo er) to the front of mine. it stops the sides getting dirty! and on a black car, you'd hardly see them

Post by: VC on February 26, 2009, 09:29:16 am: i think i would consider them for long journeys if they were easy to pop on and off like a car bra, but if they were easy to pop off then they would probably fall off so i doubt thats the case
