Mud flaps
About “Mud flaps”
Mud flaps intercept the water, sand and road slush thrown by the wheels onto the sills, doors and rear bodywork. The category includes HAVOC and products from other manufacturers. HAVOC sets are vehicle-specific: each part is shaped for a particular wheel arch, and many descriptions specify flexible TPE with caoutchouc.
The HAVOC version described for the Audi A4 B8 contains four mud flaps and spare fasteners. It uses factory mounting points together with the wheel arch liner; this listing states that no body drilling is required. This is an example of a specific set, not universal fitting instructions for every model.
Body style exclusions matter too: one Audi A4 set is listed as unsuitable for the Allroad. For other models, check the generation, body style and number of pieces before fitting.
| HAVOC features | Example |
|---|---|
| Flexible material | TPE with caoutchouc in vehicle-specific sets where specified |
| Mounting | Factory wheel arch points; some sets include spare clips or screws |
| Body style notes | Certain versions have exclusions, such as Allroad for selected Audi A4 sets |
Example: Set Audi A4 B8, Product code 14-01-0002. For interior ventilation with a slightly open window, see window deflectors.
