HELL YEAH! I was thinking about doing this to my avant for winter. You just sold me! Can you post detailed pics of where they attach to the wheel well?

**moclakens** · 01-01-2011 10:37 PM

It is really easy. I did it on my buddy's b5 first, we just used all of the factory holes and used longer screws.

**lookaught** · 01-02-2011 08:56 AM

Lookin' good! Now find some mud!

Many more pics here!

**GramCracker** · 01-02-2011 02:59 PM

moclakens, did you buy PWN Avant's Arctic White S4? If so, it looks great and it's good to see its gone to an enthusiast

**flyingfish2626** · 01-02-2011 03:30 PM

Really nice pics guys.

**CARTEL** · 01-02-2011 04:11 PM

Awesome! For some reason I love that look.

**bluetori** · 01-02-2011 04:22 PM

Thought about getting some red ones for my silver B8

Yes, I picked it up last weekend:)

Where did you buy these at?

**617 Bones** · 01-03-2011 12:25 AM

Looks pretty good! How stiff are those mud flaps? I am pretty sure I would scrape with them, but if they are relatively soft then they'll just grind away which is fine with me... just don't want a speed bump to push my bumper out of the way via a super stiff mud flap!

**moclakens** · 01-03-2011 11:14 AM

You can put them up as high as you want, if they are to low just redrill the holes an inch lower on the flap.

They are pretty bendy, my rears scrape going into and out of parkinglots with steep entrances, but they just fold back. The UR versions are much more stiff.

Sweet, thanks for the info! Btw, I <3 White Avants!!

for those of you with B5's, ECS is/was selling a full set of S4 mud flaps for $5. Here they are on aledelic42's A4:

EDIT: Found the flaps on ECS, still $5 lol :D

**paulorama** · 01-03-2011 08:37 PM

DOPE! thanks, ordered...

**4squared** · 01-03-2011 10:19 PM

I can't do those. I would rip those off after one day. I have rubber ones at my work that I probably could get to work

**Phillyb7s4** · 01-04-2011 04:44 AM

I have been looking into mud flaps for my new B5 avant, and I like what I've seen, but would love to see more pictures of B5's.

**CCA4** · 01-04-2011 05:30 AM

FWIW those are S4 mud flaps, which are obviously designed to fit around S4 side skirts, so if you have an A4 the fronts won't fit perfectly. But they're $5 and if their only purpose is to keep shit from slinging up the side of your car in the winter they'll do just fine. Philly, this post isn't directed at you because i see you've got not one but two S4's, it was more a general statement

The flaps at the top of the thread are made by Rally Armor, available online. They are about $100 and are absurdly durable. I scrape constantly for the past year and they show virtually no wear, the urethane is pretty amazing. The universal kit is what you need.

I had a set of rubber mudflaps and ripped off a front one during my drive home from the slopes after the first big storm after I installed them. They are just not flexible enough to handle a shit ton of snow and ice, it ripped right in half.

**moclakens** · 01-09-2011 01:10 PM

^^^^ These are acually not the UR version, they are the basic ones and only cost $16.

**CCA4** · 01-09-2011 08:59 PM

The same Avant I posted before, 'cept on air now ;)

**boostedAvant** · 01-25-2011 04:42 PM

Those rally armor flaps look great on that white B6 S4. I need to order some of these. I think they're my only option since I'm too low for the solid flaps. The last set I had got destroyed on everything. I finally just took them off in like 5 peices haha.

**SleeperLoDo** · 01-28-2011 04:23 PM

My first Avant

**paulorama** · 01-30-2011 01:07 PM

Put these on with my snow wheels, took them off a week later because they were messing up my paint:

replaced them with ikea cuttingboard mudflaps which sheared in half a week later. Thinking bout dropping the $100 on rallyarmors. Seems like the only good choice

**Phillyb7s4** · 01-30-2011 07:23 PM

^ How were they messing up the paint? I'm putting mine on this week.

**PNW Avant** · 01-30-2011 09:19 PM

Dammit. My new avant rattles sooooo much more than the perfect S4 I sold to you. How'd you crack that engine cover?

They wrap around the bumper and touch the paint, however, the fit is not perfect and there is enough wiggle-room for sand and dirt to get in there. It got ground into the paint by the mudflaps.

How are they holding up? I've heard that they can get bent out of shape but I can't justify spending $100 for the UR ones

I am not really sure, when I pulled it off it just snapped:(

The gas mileage must rock though!

**bryzf1** · 01-31-2011 08:41 PM

Lookin good! How are you enjoying the new ride?

**moclakens** · 02-01-2011 11:36 PM

I defiantly miss my B5, but the B6 is more refined and a better road trip car(1000 road trip every three weeks+ 50 mile commute)
Some JHM goodies are in the books for late this summer, hopefully FI!
BTW still kicking myself over your old avant:(
Pick from few weeks back near Ellensburg

**Capt. Obvious** · 02-02-2011 10:10 AM

B5 with the factory mud flaps. After this year I probably won't run them again, my car is so low they scrape on everything and they're tearing the paint up on the front fender.

**bryzf1** · 02-02-2011 10:12 AM

Awesome pic! I think you really made a good choice in switching over to a b6, especially w/ all that driving!

Nice!!

**quality_sound** · 02-06-2011 10:31 AM

If your OEM flaps are damaging your paint pick up a small section of paint protection film and install it under the flaps. Problem solved. :)

**WasGTIguy** · 02-07-2011 06:47 PM

This is my car and I like the ones that came on it. They work pretty good and I think they're OEM spashguards. Heres a pic in summer and wintermode from my roadtrip thread

**Greynade** · 02-22-2011 02:22 PM

does anyone know if these would fit on my B6 avant?

I have been trying to find some that are more moulded to the car rather than just flat rubber ones.
