1. Anyone know how much a set are from VW? Are fleabay jobs any good? Any other recommendations or links to good quality sets?
2. Can you's please post some pics of cars wearing full sets or just the rears.
Living in a very rural area I'm now starting to get a bit sick of the state of my car in this weather already, having to clean the No plate daily and using a stupid amount of washer fluid just to see out of the rear window!.

There about £37.00 a set from VW. Had them on my last GTI, F&R but have to say they didn't make that much difference.
ED35. Standard factory condition.

I got my genuine VW mud flaps from:

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Silverwagen-Direct-Volkswagen-parts?_rdc=1

Worked out at nearly 50% cheaper than the dealer, despite this seller being a VW main dealer themselves! It's not just about mud & spray. Stone chip protection was on my mind.

I took my mudflaps off last week as they dont really do much, the car still gets covered in crap at the back
