Hi, I have one from a 2015 AB with heating. I bought it to retrim as I found the stock one too thin, but I'm not doing that little project now. Its £225 with the switch boxes ( no airbag).

| ... and the same for the rears too - no need to jack the car or remove the wheels. Though a dumpy Philips and a short 10mm ratchet will help. And a dremel too ! |

I can confirm that the from mudflaps can be fitted easily without removing the wheels or jacking the car up 😁. It got too rainy to try the rear ones today !

Can anyone confirm if you have to take the wheels off to fit the front and rear mudflaps, or is it possible without doing so ?
Thanks
