You will probably find you will only be able to get hold of the fronts. They do 2 types depending on if you have skirts or not. I believe they didn't make rears that followed the contours of the ED30/R32 rear bumper unfortunately.

Cars are not made with mudflaps due to aerodynamics . Putting them on has a dramatic effect depending on what car you drive . I have commented elsewhere that they reduced my fuel consumption by around ten per cent  (reduction from 56 to 50) in my diesel golf , it also made so much more mess around the rear hatch that i took them off after 6 months and around 8000 miles . My fuel consumption went back to 56mpg on the next tank and the rear hatch was less covered in crud . Living in suffolk the roads are just mud for much of the winter and i thought mud flaps would help THEY DON'T  :innocent:

Where would I be able to get ones for the front? I have just fitted spring and spacers so wanting mudflaps to stop all the sh*t going up the side of my car. Cheers

IIRC there is no difference between the front flaps for a GTI and an Eddy ONLY the rears. Those ones in the link should be fine, if in doubt ask at the stealers.

Did you have to cut them to go round the skirt?

^^^^ Use the link I posted or use P/N 1K0075115 and trawl the interweb for the best price or order them at the parts desk at your local TPS/VW dealers.

Or eBay.....
