Here's a pic.of my Sport. I get grounding. Used to get it on my 2000 A6 on standard suspension. Never suffered any damage.

Not quite sure what you mean by my "ebay link".

eBay is at www.ebay.co.uk of course. The seller I got my flaps from has the ebay ID "dru500", but today he has nothing for auction. The return address on the box he sent me says Louth VW Centre.

I found my flaps by searching for " Passat mudflaps", then sorting through all the hits for genuine VW B6 items. As I said in my earlier post, I had to look for a couple of weeks before I found what I wanted at the right price.

Mike, I meant the actual URL for the item that you bought but I can find out through his name. I have been searching too but no luck yet.

Cheers

Fitted my front flaps this morning.

An earlier poster managed the job without removing the wheels, but I followed the VW instructions, and took the wheels off. Even then there was only just enough space to get in with a small cordless drill to drill the two 5mm holes on each side through the plastic. This was using the standard toolkit jack to lift the car.

The VW pictorial instructions were fine. The only difficulty I had was getting the flaps to fit properly under the sill. The problem was that the plastic inner wing liner hung down below the front of the sill. On both sides I fixed this by trimming about 6 mm off the back edge of the flap, just where it butts against the wing liner. Easy job with a Stanley knife. After that both flaps fitted perfectly. Very happy with the result. Took about an hour and a half.
