They fit between the wheel and the lower bodywork to stop sand, gravel, and salt-laden water that the wheel constantly throws up. On a vehicle used all year round, a properly fitted \u003cstrong\u003ecar mudguard\u003c\/strong\u003e is what most reliably delays the appearance of paint chips and corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy fit mudguard flaps on an Octavia\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eGravel protection\u003c\/strong\u003e: the lower door and wheel arch stop being sandblasted on every journey.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eLess salt in winter\u003c\/strong\u003e: salt spray is directed back to the ground instead of staying on the metal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecific cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: template based on the Octavia 3 wheel arches, not a cut-down universal model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo versions\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cstrong\u003epre-facelift\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003epost-facelift\u003c\/strong\u003e, as the bumpers differ between the two phases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttachment to original mounting points\u003c\/strong\u003e: screws and clips fit into the existing holes in the wheel arch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProtection flap: what is it actually used for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA flap, or \u003cstrong\u003emudguard flap\u003c\/strong\u003e, is a flexible skirt fitted behind the wheel. Its role is to break the trajectory of spray: instead of hitting the lower bodywork, the bumper and the vehicle following, gravel and water fall back to the ground. On a \u003cstrong\u003eSkoda Octavia 3\u003c\/strong\u003e that drives a lot of country roads, white roads, or salted roads, it is protection that pays for itself in one season. It also limits the fouling of the lower bodywork and rims, and therefore the time spent washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e mudguard flaps\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skoda Octavia 3 sedan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChassis:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMK3, A7, type 5E\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYears:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e2014 to 2019\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersions:\u003c\/strong\u003e pre-facelift or post-facelift\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e frost-resistant flexible plastic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttachment:\u003c\/strong\u003e screws and clips on original mounting points\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e set of flaps, depending on the version\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is done with the wheels turned to clear the wheel arch: you position the flap, align the holes with the original holes, then tighten the screws without forcing to avoid deforming the plastic.
