Wheel arch inserts

Post by Ralf85 »

Bought these from Brickwerks and had them fitted this week. They should protect the expensive work I have just had done. Fixed them in with a few screws just in case they get dislodged at speed or in high winds. For what they cost they are a good buy.

I can't decide if these are going to hold crap and salt behind them or not ... I know the Passat's covered in them :?

I know that water and slush can creep in anywhere, but these hug very close to the body, so I am hoping they do keep out the nasty stuff. No doubt I will find out in a year or two.

I'm having the same worries about crud getting caught behind - but time will tell and I'll have to remove them for other stuff to be done at some point.
