Mudflaps! ................ Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Got to say I'm tempted for winter use, the gritters are giving me nightmares.. I've already picked up two stone chips from one and I came to a standstill when he passed :'(
This is why Carlos avoids going out on winter nights. Nah but seriously that sucks, fortunately my town has signs that tell you they're going to be gritting on that night so you kind of know to avoid them.
They'll just increase drag coefficient to your car.
What about rear flaps.Well after getting fed up with this........

Looks like a success, I couldn't car how they look but a least the car is not getting sand blasted every time I go out, the winter tyres seem to kick up a lot more debris.
@mike price, Part number is ZGB8V2075102 and they do fit a FL S3 no matter what your dealer tells you.

I used a 3M clear film underneath just in case, but the flaps are made of softish rubber not like the hard plastic ones I had on previous cars.
@Detailer dave, I don't think rear flaps are available for the FL yet.

Did these come with a fitting kit please? Mine will be at the dealer tomorrow, I had the last in stock nationwide apparently.
Did you just put clear film on the contact points? I will order some now.
Just a bit in between the flap and the bodywork, the ones for the non S cars actually come with a bit in the fitting kit
The material on the S ones seems to be softer and you probably could do without it.
All clips come with the kit, some drilling required , but only into the wheel liner, 3.5mm and 8.5mm

thank you, any part numbers please?
Hi guys,
Been lurking here for a while so this is my first post. Just took delivery of an s3 facelift and looking for mudflaps. My street and all surrounding areas are a building site and every time I drive even at 2mph I can hear rocks and **** getting battered off the whole side of the car and judging by the dirt it sometimes looks like I’ve been rallying.
Did anyone have any success with the rear mudflaps? Dealership swears that they don’t make any front or back for the s3 so it was good finding this thread.
I’m assuming the 3 door and 5 door are the same for mudflaps.
I have seen 1 a3 sline that has mudflaps so is the rear bumper the same as s3?
Cheers
