Mud flaps

[jimiC]

no, they don't make it easy at all!

looking at the Milltek pictures i downloaded, it seems the FR and 280 use the same locating screw underneath so it could just be the shape that's different or the distance that screw is away from the bumper edge.

jaba's picture was what i based my hopes on of direct fitting. the box label says the rear's i have were manufactured September 2013 so whether their design has been modified since i don't know.

it shouldn't take 10 minutes to make a paper template and make new holes in the flap. a T25 torx is needed for the screws too

 

[jimiC]

that's them fitted. too dark to take pics. all i needed to do was elongate the holes for the arch liner upward toward the top of the flap, less than 10mm. managed to retain enough plastic around the uppermost hole to avoid it splitting and the torx heads are big enough to hide the rough edges of my dremel'ing

Please take some pics later on.

Please take some pics later on.

will do, after work tomorrow if the weather allows. not sure how to add pics here though, it asks for a url? but im used to forums that allow direct image insertion

 

[jimiC]

ok, some images as promised. yeah i know the contour under the bumper isn't perfect but it's preferable to having the paint getting hammered by the Highway Agency's rock salt

Thanks for pics, I have these on my MK2, haven't ordered them for MK3 yet but think I will now. I assume my current ones won't fit my new SC.

 

[jimiC]

no problem. i guess unless the part no. is the same as listed in jaba's invoice (E5F0075101) then possibly not. the part no. for mine direct from the dealers was the same but didn't have the E at the start. maybe that's why i had to modify mine and jaba didn't...

have the seat mudflaps on mine all round,i find the rear ones want to be longer as they are useless rear of car still gets plastered

 

[jimiC]

it would be ideal if they were 20mm longer or so but even my mate's rally style flaps don't stop the rear from getting plastered. tbf i've no problem with road grime and i didn't fit them with the view of extending the car washing routine. the main reason was for them to hopefully be sufficient to minimise the rough paint at the lower edge of the bumper that i got within the first 100 miles driving along gritted roads. if they do that they've done their job.

Ok all - grabbed a set of front and rear mud flaps today and fitted them just now.

In all around half an hour to 45mins to do all. No need to remove wheels and for me all holes lined up perfectly front and rear.

For the rears, just remove the T25 Torx screws and fit flaps using existing screws.

For the front, you need to drill 2 holes each side, one 3mm to take a new Torx at the top of the flap, and a 9mm for a securing lug on the bottom part into the arch. These are needed as there is no existing hole and all fixings come with the flaps.

I noticed that the instructions indicate extra holes on the front are not needed on cars pre sept 2013, looks like the arch liner design changed at that point. Probably why some peeps did or didn't need to drill holes.

All in all and easy job and they all fit great.

Last point to note, my rear flaps had two part numbers stamped on them, looks like the standard and FR part number, odd eh?

Do these flaps fit a Cupra 280 Sc, if so have you got the part numbers for front and rears , Cheers

 

[jimiC]

for part nos. please refer to jaba's post
http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showpost.php?p=4540390&postcount=29

Rear SC and 5DR (E5F0075101)
Front all models use the same (E5F0075111)

if you chose to buy from a dealer just remove the letter E from the part no. the prices increase quite considerably though.

 

[kentbloke]

[jimiC]

no problem. hope your rears are a fettle-free direct fit - unlike mine

 

[Mattias]

Jaba101 are they the genuine mudflaps? Was on that site but assumed they'd be cheap remakes?
