Original ones match the shape of the factory mud flaps for a specific model and usually fit the factory mounting points. Universal ones are rubber pairs in standard sizes that are fitted to the arch, trimmed if needed, and attached to the wheel arch liner or bumper.
A “4 pcs” set includes front and rear for both axles. If the item is sold as a pair (2 pcs), you need to order two sets for all four wheels.
It depends on the installation type specified in the характеристики. “Factory mounting points” mud flaps are fixed in the original points, “self-tapping screws” ones are screwed to the wheel arch liner or bumper, and fiberglass ones are glued on with sealant.
Side skirts, trims, and arch extensions change the fit, so check the actual body. For some models, there are separate versions — “for side skirts” or “with side skirts.”
Universal Polytep come in 230×375 mm and 280×440 mm with a thickness of 3.5 mm. The sizes of other pairs are listed in the specifications; before buying, measure the space behind the wheel.
Rubber and rubber-plastic are more flexible, so they withstand frost and brushing against curbs better than rigid parts. In winter, clean mud flaps of stuck snow and dirt so as not to нагрузувати the mounts.
Not always: rear mud flaps for a sedan, hatchback, and wagon are often different, so for one model there may be separate sets — for example, Premium HB and Premium SD for Ford Focus II 2008–2011. Choose the item for your body type.
No, “original” means the shape matches the factory part for a specific model. The manufacturer of the item is always listed in the specifications.
How it works
Check the комплект Sort the mud flaps into left and right, front and rear, and check the fasteners. What is included in the kit and what type of installation it has is stated in the product specifications.
Prepare the area Wash and dry the wheel arch edge and the bottom of the bumper, and remove sand and frozen dirt from the areas where the mud flap will sit.
Test fit without fastening Hold the mud flap against the wheel arch and check that the contour matches and that the side skirts or trim do not get in the way. Universal ones may need to be trimmed at this stage if necessary.
Secure it Model-specific ones are installed in the factory mounting points or fastened with self-tapping screws to the fender liner or bumper; fiberglass ones are glued on with sealant according to the instructions. First, hand-tighten all fasteners, then tighten them fully.
Check clearance Turn the steering wheel all the way in both directions and make sure the wheel does not touch the front mud flaps.
Check after driving After a few days, inspect the fasteners and tighten them if necessary.
