Default Splash Guard? for S3

Just wondering if Audi makes splash guard/ mud guard for our cars.
Winter is coming, you know~

There is no splash-guard available for the S3. This is according to the Audi USA accessories web site. Splash guards can be bought for the A3, though. I am guessing that the ground clearance of the S3 is not suitable for splash guards. I used to own a 2011 VW GTI with splash guards and I was scraping them as I go over speed bumps or when the curb and driveway transition is steep or deep. To avoid extensive damage, I drive very slowly over speed bumps. Sometimes one or two splash guards would still scrape it depending on the angle of attack. For my current S5, there are no available splashguards for it as well. I will have to live with it like that. Splashguards are only available for the A5.

I think the lower body work on the S3 precludes using splash guards. The body kit sort of acts as a splash guard. Bought some Audi brand splash guards for my wife's Q5 recently. Man are those things engineered well. Super strong and look nice.

I understand your goal to protect your car's fenders and side sills from road dirt. However, the mudflap idea is going to far! You're driving an Audi S3 not a Subaru WRX or STI
