They feel similar to the OEM ones in design and size and also have precut holes for the screws.<\/h2>\n

BHPian kaushiksudra<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

Hi all,<\/p>\n

It has been close to 10 months since I got the Virtus and one of the most important accessories I was missing was the mudflaps. Tried a lot in different locations to get the OEM one but everyone had the same answer, “VW is not selling this as an individual item and it has to be brought as a bundle of all the accessories”.<\/p>\n

I was never a fan of it hence passed on buying when I got the car itself. However, after a few instances of getting muck and road debris on the car, I badly wanted to get these mudflaps. Checked Amazon, but wasn’t too sure about the fit. Went ahead and checked on my trusted app for car accessories & parts (Boodmo) and found these by MGT.<\/p>\n

Was a bit unsure as the holes shown in the same were sure to not match with the OEM ones, but took the plunge and ordered it. Got it for a price of \u20b9592 with free delivery. Arrived bang on time for a late Saturday DIY.<\/p>\n

As it is with all of us auto enthusiasts, we get to work instantly and just want to see how it would look. Hence, no before and after pictures.<\/p>\n

Mudflaps are of good quality plastic and they feel similar to that of OEM in design and size, have precut holes for the screws and the indentations slot in perfectly with the car’s design and body parts. The front is smaller than the rear ones, also each mudflap is labelled just in case you find it difficult to align.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The front ones were the first to go and 1 hole matched with the OEM and helps in aligning the part perfectly. The other hole was made on the plastic wheel arch cladding (I’m usually not a fan of making unnecessary holes, but let this pass for a good cause). Have attached it with just 2 screws, 1 is the OEM and another silver one that you see was given with the accessory, though wish the screws were black in color which would blend in well, but helps that it’s hidden away inside and would go unnoticed mostly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The front ones took me barely 10 mins to install and with very basic tools. The rear mudflaps are difficult to get to as the rear wheels can’t steer like the front ones (wish I had a Merc with rear-wheel steering which would have made this easy).<\/p>\n

Anyways, the car had to be jacked up which gave me a good opportunity to get acquainted with the tools of the car. Removing the nut cap was something that I had recently made aware of during my visit to VW and loosened the nuts and jacked her up and it was fairly easy to get the wheel off the car.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The same procedure as the front but somehow there was a slight misalignment and the inside of the mudflap was jutting out without the screw, due to an indent in the wheel arch liner.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wanted to turn back at this time and return the product, but was too lazy to remove the front ones and tried screwing the flap in place to see if it fits well, though it doesn’t fit as great as the front ones, but will do the job really well.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All in all a Saturday evening spent well doing the first DIY on the Virtus. Shall update once I use them for a few days.<\/p>\n

A few parting pics with mudflaps.<\/p>\n
