small splash guard things...

[jlswadling]

hey guys, im puzzled.. im after these splash guards iv seen in some photos, they go on the front fenders to prevent dirt,grime,tar from flicking up onto the driver/passenger door.. especially for guys with decent sized wheels. there small and discrete and only little strips that stick out a little from the actually fenders.. and ill clear up that there not classic splash guards/mud guards.

does anyone know what im refering too?
can anyone point me in the right direction to get them...

cheers friends

From spare parts, but they are pricey i beleive. I think the last i bought were around the $50 mark each. They just stick on

Generally these are part of the Sports Pack, I had these on one of my previous Passat's with the 18" Chicago Wheels.
I was under the impression that it was to do with the width of the tyres and how they protrude from the side of the body and due to ADR's they required these to enable them to still be within the required limits.

thanks for the info!! i feel stupid as, all i had to do was use the word "mini" in my search and that tarmacengineering website shows up!! haha. its good to know that spare parts has them aswell.. much appreciated guys !

Are we talking about the same thing here. The tarmac engineering ones appear to be just small "mud flaps" however I am talking about the small black plastic extensions that protrude from the wheel arch area, not the lower mud flap area.

They're used on the Golf R so that the guard is extended enough to make the fitting of the optional 19" wheels legal so they don't extend beyond the guards. They're nothing to do with splash protection as far as I know.

Info and pics below are showing these little extensions on a Golf R, but i assume this is what the OP is trying to explain.

I lost my driver side rear/rear right one (Part # 5K0807834) and ordered a new one through VW for $44. So they are not cheap.

That's what I was referring too. I had the same on my Passat with Sports Pack.

yes that is correct - only the Golf R's with the optional 19" wheels have these little plastic guard extensions front and rear. If the car is not optioned with the 19" wheels (standard rims are 18" in the same shape/style) then the car will not have the plastic extensions fitted.

As for the Tarmac mini mudflaps, i got a set of these recently. For my liking they stick out too far from the guards and ruin the lines of the car, so i drilled new mounting holes on mine to raise them up a little and pull them in a little. So now they stick out about 1.5cm from the guard, and hang down underneath the side skirt about 5cm. They most likely wont do as good of a job preventing stone chips now, but they do look a lot more discreet (basically unnoticeable).

you can buy Golf mudspats on Aliexpress & ebay for about $15-$25/set (f&R). There are 2 types - a short & long. maybe they suit what you are after?

[jlswadling]

Cheers brad. Ill check them out aswell !!
