Hi, just bought a full set of genuine Hyundai mud guards for my i30 and was wondering if anyone can tell me how easy they are to fit. Are the holes pre drilled etc thanks.

Yes, on my wife's 2014 Tourer the holes were already there. I was too lazy to take the wheels off so i just used a z shaped screwdriver. Awkward, but possible. :goodjob:

Yep - dead easy to fit as the holes are all there.

I did remove my wheels as I found it easier that way. Plus, I didn't have a z shaped screwdriver :)

Use a ratchet socket with a screwdriver attachment, no extension, of course.

For the fronts turn the wheels towards the wheel you are doing. IE doing the left flap, turn on left lock. pretty obvious but it helps

I did do that bit (obviously) Times like this it would be nice to have 4 wheel steering like some Mazdas have in the past..
