That fender brace really is a pain on the mk7r, especially not having box wrenches 😂 I’ll try tomorrow after i run to the store

[@elpaparaxy]

Are those wider than the original fenders? I’m about to roll my fenders out to get a better fitting of my tire but if the seibon fenders are wider I might get those instead.

[@olivergarcia1793]

What are the wheel specs for flush wheel fitment with the wider fenders?

[@omarlekphet]

What's the weight difference ?

[@Hunter1Lane]

You had the hood removed in the video but didn’t mention if it needs to be off to get good fitment of the front fender panel

[@natalis08]

Will this work on a mk 7.5?

[@AronBuilds]

Looks pretty damn good guys! Am I right that those fenders are wider than factory or was it just the camera angle? Looks like they stick out further from the front bumper.

[@rallysportdirect]

Good eye, they are quite a bit wider :) Thanks, Rick

[@CustomEclipse21]

So these are the wide fenders not oem?

[@rallysportdirect]

Correct, these are the 10mm wider fenders. www.rallysportdirect.com/part/fenders/ff12vwg7-w-seibon-carbon-fiber-fenders Thanks, Rick

How many kg has been reduced after fitting the hood and those fenders?

[@AlbertPerez-jw1ry]

0.001kg

[@callsigngecko4723]

It kinda bugs me that the front of the fender doesn’t meet up with the corner of the bumper very well, feels like seibon could’ve done a better job tying that in. But I guess I’ll just have to have bodywork don on my front bumper to make it look better.

Just don’t buy the wide version

@@callsigngecko4723 idk i like the little lip but to each there own, don’t have to go seibon either. Just finished putting my wide fenders on my mk7 r and i don’t think it’s too bad

[@ahmedmamelli8202]

is it the same install as the mk6 r?

[@rallysportdirect]

I actually used the MK6 install instructions as my guide, it was not the same but pretty close. The hardest thing on these is the inner plastic that seals up the gap where the fender meets the door. I'm sure there is an easy(er) way to get them out, but I was struggling with them. Seems like on the MK6 they pop out pretty easy. Thanks, Rick

[@juanhidalgo6234]

Would it fit a 2017 Jetta ???

[@QuavyQua]

No

[@dddon513]

What a bad job of showing what you're actually doing. Maybe take more than 4 seconds per step and get a decent angle with enough light.
