jonah 1 Posted February 24, 2006 Yes they are the OE ones. I had the front ones for a while, didn't think much of them though, they scrape on the ground going over big bumps and they're not flexible enough so they crack. Both of mine fell off within a couple of months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 0 Posted February 24, 2006 aye, dont bother if your car is lowered. i lost both mine in about an hour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashley peddle 3 Posted February 24, 2006 i ripped my 306 ones off and thats not even lowered so i have a feeling that my 205 ones (when i fit them) will prolly last a few minutes... if that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newdean0 0 Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) I've had mine for a year now and the car is lowered 30mm at the front. Yes they do scrape over most speed humps but I haven't lost them yet. They're a good warning system though! Have stopped me ripping the exhaust off a couple of times. P.S. The ones I bought don't have the little GTi badges on so I don't think they are standard fitment.

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted February 28, 2006 Neat Auto's do the same ones, Cheaper as well I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feb 47 Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) Yes they are the OE ones. I had the front ones for a while, didn't think much of them though, they scrape on the ground going over big bumps and they're not flexible enough so they crack. Both of mine fell off within a couple of months. i have had the same problem when going over ramps, what you need to do is drill through the rivets (3 of them), remove them and insert a screw with a nut on the back. that should keep it steady.

JHB205 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Are the mudflaps from neat autos the same as the original mudflaps that came on the cars from brand new??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 99 Posted February 28, 2006 I bought both front and rears from Neat about 12 months ago. Both sets came in Peugeot bags and both had the little "GTI" and "CTI" badges to put on them. The 2 pairs were different quality though. The rears are the dense rubber-like material of the original flags. The fronts were cheapo plastic ones, and were obviously designed for base-models as the mounting holes were in the wrong place (but that's easily fixed). I asked at a pug dealer sometime later and was told that the plastic front flaps are all they can get for the 205 now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JHB205 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Thats probabily why the originals on ebay go for so much...........................shame as they look cool!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 99 Posted February 28, 2006 99.9% of the ones on ebay ARE the cheapo plastic kind - buy them new, sell them are "Rare!", and watch the £££ roll in... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLPoomobile 958 Posted February 28, 2006 I still have Autofive mudflaps from oooooh, about 5 years ago. Never fitted them. If they are rubber ones then ch-ching, eBay here I come! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobMGti 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Same as most people, fitted them and then had the ripped of chasing a local sti down the east cost of coniston. Total waste of time imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sanchez 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Did mud flaps come on the car as standard or were they extras? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
