I would have bought the OEM ones personally as they are designed to fit without silly clamps that remove paint from your wheel arch.

The best way for the ones you have is to junk the clamps and use self tapping screws straight through the flaps into the plastic wheel arch liner. Make measurements so they fit the same height both sides.

I really didn't think these would fit differently than the OEM ones, but yeah as I said I've never fitted mud flaps before so I didn't know

I think even the oem ones use 1 clamp if i remember correctly!

It isn't an FR, its sport

Ah right - perhaps it was the "FR" badge on the back. :cartman:

I knew it wasnt an FR, I mean why would someone with an FR take off the FR bumpers and replace them with bumpers from a standard (non-performance) Leon.

How hard were they to fit mate? I really like them, good choice! Think it makes the car look a bit lower and wider but maybe thats just me?

Anyway good cheap mod and I'm gonna get me some :D

Yeah thats why I got them, I could do with an FR rear bumper really (to match the FR front bumper and chrome mirrors etc) but I think it looks nice as it is, the mudflaps do make it looks wider IMO, and they were really easy to fit, just make sure the wheels are off so you have some room to screw them in :)

They do look nice, with the Red "S" (SEAT) badge, contrasting the gleaming Black paintwork. [B)]
