Cheers, i’ll give them a go, I did consider buying the aftermarket Scooby type flaps as they could be cut to fit anything and are wide for the fat wheels I now have.

Was about to post a new thread on the VW Mud Guards but it's been done to death already unsurprisingly .

They are absolutely minging

I'll be giving them a wide birth. One area the Vito was much better (pic). I've decided to protect the area of the body work mud guards protect by having transparent X-PEL film panels fitted there, so at least the paintwork won't get shot blasted by everything the tyres flick up

Just ordered a set from the bay

Not impressed either. Front ones have come unattached on one side (Possibly with help from VW)
The screws on the rears are already rusty after 6 months fitted. Buy cheap buy twice

 

[WORKIE]

Not just me then, mine are now off the van and on there way back

 

[Bayrak]

Oh poop £27 down the creek. Why can't VW just produce some mud flaps that work and serve the purpose, okay the fronts may be an issue but the rears well, there should be no need to drill holes.

People - please note that the Veedub Transporters mud flaps do not fit a T6 on the rear if you have a tailgate. Apparently there are differences in the shape.
Does anyone know of a mud flap (not the genuine VW one) that will fit the tailgate model in a similar manner??

 

[JaySal]

Vanstyle do a replica set for tailgate for around £50.

 

[Simple Simon]

Yeah, but they replicate the genuine ones that fit half way down the rear valance - not the Veedub ones that fit on the end near the wheel.
I was hoping Veedub would bring out their mudflaps in a tailgate version, or someone else had already done it.
I've even thought about getting a set to see if it was a case of some simple trimming to get them to fit.
Does anyone know how much the difference is between the tailgate and barn door T6 in these areas?

 

[JaySal]

.....in a similar manner to the Veedub ones not the genuine ones.

Our quest for the perfect tailgate mudflaps goes on!!!! Apart from screwing to the bodywork, I thought mudflaps were also there to help prevent stone chips to the bodywork, so why design them to fit leaving part of the bumper exposed??

 

[Deaky]

I have some small ones on mine. I think they're the ones that @JaySal has linked to further up the thread.

 

[toonaroon]

Thanks Deaky, looks like that's the best option.

This much:
Tailgate bumper with a barn-door arch liner.
