Default splash guards

greetings....
i will soon be bringing my glacier white sportback in for 1 year service.

ive been sitting on the fence about having them install splash guards.
good numbers, coming in right under $300. for front and rear s line with labor included.

i had them on my alpine white 535 and i liked the look and function.
but im not quite sure how they would look on the a5 sb.

there are so few of these cars on the road, i havent had an opportunity to see them fitted on a car.
anybody here have them and can post a pic?

What did you decide? I just got a set for front and back for an a5 sb (moonlight blue) because I'm getting a lot of splash. I'll have them mounted as soon as I can and if I can get a decent picture, I'll try to post it.

I know it sounds crazy, but I am going to look at them for my RS5 Sportback as well when I buy it.
It will save me from having to install the 3M paint protection film down the entire side of the car as well.

the day came and went....i couldnt pull the trigger.
having only seen photos,and none on a car i had some uncertainty..

to me in the photos they appeared a bit bulky or oversized.
seeing them on a car would have been what i needed to eliminate any doubt one way or the other.

It takes longer than you might think to get these on. Plan on an hour or so if you have it on a rack. All wheels have to come off and some trim for the front ones.

Thanks for posting those. I can't help noticing all the splash on the car, though. Is that splash from after the guards were applied?

No. I left those splashes on to illustrate why I got the guards.
