Mud Flaps

[Ron240]

Has anybody fitted mud flaps to their S3....and could I see a photo please?
I know this subject can divide opinion but in general I like them.
With previous model variants I've owned official mud flaps have not been available, but I believe they are for the A3/S3 and are the small discreet type?
In fact at one of the dealers I visited prior to buying my car they had mud flaps already fitted to a new S3 that had just been delivered.
What price can I expect to pay for official Audi flaps?

I had them on my last car but haven't bothered this time.
They do save a bit of splatter up the doors in the winter but let's just say they don't add positively to the car's appearance.
I think the FL rears are slightly different but don't know for sure. Email the suppliers to ask.
£85 a set of four here with pics.

I fitted just the fronts on mine as the winter wheels sat out a bit further than the normal wheels.
I had intended taking them off again when changing back but just ended up leaving them on as had got used to them.

Mudflaps on a S3 ?

Sacrilege !

As always, just my opinion of course ...

Mud flaps on any car, sacrilege. In the real world what does it really save?

When my car needs cleaning I don’t do it because the bodywork directly behind/above the wheels are dirty, I do it because the car as a whole is dirty.

Don’t get it.

Still don’t get it?

Mud flaps are just so 70s/80s.

For a start they'll protect the paint from stonechips and from being worn away at the bottom of the inner arches plus keep the car cleaner for longer, they're inoffensive at worst

 

[Carefree69]

They’ll keep a tiny fraction of the car cleaner for longer yes, but are also very dated and very ugly.

Not a fan but the Saloon pictured doesn't look to bad TBH

 

[Carefree69]

No I’ll give you that, they don’t look too bad on that saloon.

I just don’t like them and Im not knocking anyone who does.

I got a set for my black S Line. Not fitted them yet. They were £112 for the 4.

Is this for a facelift S-line/S3 sportback? I messaged a dealer on ebay and they said Audi dont make any mudflaps for the facelifted S-Line/S3 models. Not sure how different the rear bumper and front wing between the PFL and FL. I doubt Audi will make/design any mudflaps now the new A3 will be coming out soon.

Mud flaps save a lot of carnage to the lower body work of the car, I drive a lot around country lanes which normally get a layer of tar then chipping put down, and on my C6 the bottom of the rear bumper & the lower front section of the sill looked like they had been shot blasted. For my new C7 & 8V I've fitted mud flaps front & rear to stop the carnage.

It's not like they stick out like a sore thumb..

Yes, mine is a 2016 FL S Line. They only brought the rear ones out about a year ago I think.
