➤ Mudguards on Granta Liftback - detailed description

Mudguards for Lada Granta Liftback Basic modifications of the Lada Granta Liftback are equipped with standard front and rear mudguards. However, most car owners are unhappy with their functionality. Due to the short shield, the car tilts when driving through puddles.

Types of mudguards for Lada Granta Liftback

In order to eliminate a factory defect, motorists install universal type mud flaps on the Granta Liftback. They are compatible not only with the Lada family, but also with other brands. Let's look at ways to install non-standard "lockers" (as mud flaps are called) using the example of a Lada Granta Liftback car.

What kind of mudguards are there on the Lada Granta Liftback?

Standard lockers are “short” due to the protection protrusion at the bottom of only 6.0 cm. This is not enough to fully protect the fender and sills of the car.

Protection - mud flaps for Lada Granta Liftback

The protection protrusion in universal lockers is increased by 2–4 cm depending on the model. This allows you to direct the flow of water (dirt) at an angle, preventing contamination of the body and sills.

At the same time, enlarged mudguards (lockers) have a significant drawback - the holes do not match the standard ones. Often, car enthusiasts drill new mounting sockets for mounting with self-tapping screws.

Why are people fined for car mud flaps? Lawyer: is it possible to avoid a fine?

If your mudguard comes off, you must first buy and attach a new one yourself or call a specialist to the parking lot, and then start driving. This legal norm does not provide for such punishment as a warning; you will be immediately issued a fine. How it happens in practice In practice, drivers are almost never fined for not wearing mudguards. Only if traffic police officers come into conflict and are looking for something to complain about. Many drivers do not even know that such a fine exists, and are surprised at the nagging from the traffic police. However, the actions of the police are completely justified, and, if desired, they can point you to an administrative offense. It’s just that often employees don’t bother with small fines and don’t want to spend time drawing up a protocol. These are elements, usually made of plastic or thick rubber, which serve to retain and prevent dirt, sand or small gravel chips from flying out from under the wheels. By itself, this element has little effect on driving a car, but its use prevents blinding those driving behind or in the adjacent lane.

Features of operation

For any car, mud flaps are one of the most vulnerable and, at the same time, necessary accessories. This is especially true for vehicles actively used on less than ideal roads and on rough terrain.

The main purpose of front mud flaps is to protect the underbody and body of the car from stones, dirt and dust flying out from under the wheels. The rear mudguards protect cars following from the same thing. So, high-quality mudguards on a car are the key to safety on the road. Therefore, mudguards are undoubtedly necessary. Which ones should I buy?

Recommendations for car owners to choose

For maximum protection of the car body from water, dirt and snow, install extended mudguards. If the machine is used in climatic regions with minimal precipitation, leave the factory lockers.

Selection of mud flaps for Lada Granta Liftback

Material for the manufacture of front and rear aprons: rubber, polymer compounds of varying strength and elasticity. Plastic accessories are cheaper, but of poorer quality. With frequent use in winter, the material becomes deformed and cracks.

Rubber lockers are elastic, adapted for use at negative (positive) temperatures. The cost of accessories is 7–15% more expensive than analogues, depending on the modification and technical parameters.

Mud flap material for Lada Granta Liftback When purchasing original aprons, the quality of products from domestic and foreign manufacturers is identical.

Why, when buying a new car, you don’t need to install mud flaps

Only if traffic police officers come into conflict and are looking for something to complain about. Many drivers do not even know that such a fine exists, and are surprised at the nagging from the traffic police. However, the actions of the police are completely justified, and, if desired, they can point you to an administrative offense. It’s just that often employees don’t bother with small fines and don’t want to spend time drawing up a protocol.

These are elements, usually made of plastic or thick rubber, which serve to retain and prevent dirt, sand or small gravel chips from flying out from under the wheels. By itself, this element has little effect on driving a car, but its use prevents blinding those driving behind or in the adjacent lane. It is precisely because the presence of a mudguard ensures traffic safety that, according to traffic regulations, it is one of those elements without which the operation of vehicles is prohibited.

Video: A traffic police officer tried to find fault with the lack of mud flaps. What to do if you are given a fine. If a traffic police officer wants to fine you, he will draw up a resolution imposing an administrative fine.

According to the law, you have the right to request the preparation of a protocol and then appeal it to the regulatory authorities. It is enough to notify the traffic police officer that you do not agree with the chosen preventive measure and insist on mitigating the punishment before warning about the need to eliminate the problem. And this is already an emergency situation, the result of which can be not only a broken windshield, but also an accident with victims. That is why special attention should be paid to the presence of mudguards.

Penalties The current administrative legislation does not provide for a separate provision imposing a fine for mud flaps. According to paragraph, a mudguard is a small plastic part on the back of the fender of your car, which helps prevent small stones and splashes from a wet or snow-covered road from flying out from under the wheels of the vehicle. Drivers rarely pay attention to its presence, since mud flaps are very short-lived and can come off within a few months of the start of active use of the car.

Meanwhile, the legislation stipulates a fine for mud flaps, which traffic police officers can issue to the car owner.

The fine is relatively small, but it would still be unpleasant to receive it. In order to avoid a fine, read this article, which will allow you to find out the main provisions of the Code of Administrative Offenses related to the lack of a mudguard on the rear wing of your car.

Fima, what are these Putin’s May decrees? Everyone is talking about them, everyone is running around, fussing, looking for money to carry them out. For the most part, fines are imposed on motorists; written warnings are used less frequently. Legislation on the absence of mud flaps And although the Appendix to the Traffic Regulations states that it is inadmissible to operate a vehicle without mud flaps installed at the rear, which are provided structurally, nevertheless, a stop by a traffic police inspector on this occasion is quite a rare occurrence.

Typically, a fine for driving without mudguards is imposed as an additional fine. For example, a traffic police officer stopped a car for not having low beams. Next comes the execution of the resolution under Art.

By law, a driver cannot continue driving without a mudguard. Therefore, in case of loss of this part, according to the rules, he is obliged to stop the car, purchase a mudguard himself, or call a specialist to the place where he stopped. Install the part on the wheel and only then continue driving. If the inspector demands exactly this sequence of actions from the car owner, he is absolutely right. In some car models, mud flaps are not initially included in the design.

Their role in this case is played by a part of the rear wing, or another protective device. There are even car models where mudguards cannot be installed due to the special design of the body. Imposing a fine for mud flaps in this situation is unlawful, and the driver can point out the mistake to the inspector.

From time to time on the roads you can see the following picture: a traffic police inspector waves his baton - and the next driver stops. There can be a lot of reasons for such a stop, but more and more often the reason for nagging from inspectors is that the car does not have mudguards.

It would seem like a small plastic part, but the fine for not having it can be quite significant. Let's figure out what the legislation says about the presence or absence of this detail, what kind of punishment is possible here - and how to avoid it? First of all, let's look at what exactly mud flaps are - and why are they needed? Mud flaps are called mudguards on the wheel arch. Driving without a mudguard does not affect the driving performance of the car, but its absence can easily provoke a traffic accident.

The mandatory installation of mud flaps is enshrined at the legislative level: clause of the Appendix to the Basic Provisions for the approval of vehicles for operation states that it is prohibited to drive a car without rear mud flaps and special mudguards provided for by the design of the vehicle. The law requires drivers to monitor the presence of mud flaps only at the rear. If front mudguards are missing, this is not considered an offense.

A small plastic or rubber part located on the rear parts of the car's wings is used to protect vehicles driving behind from dirt and small stones flying from under the wheels. The mudguard is a fragile part, so it often fails and drivers do not consider it necessary to replace it.

Legal requirements for equipping cars with mud flaps Mud flaps are plastic or rubber flexible linings over the wheels, installed to prevent the ejection of dirt and stones from under them while driving. Punishment for mud flaps The vehicle can only be used if it is in good condition and meets other specifications.

The vehicle must be fully equipped, and therefore the presence of mud flaps is mandatory. If a traffic police inspector stops a car and discovers that this element is missing from it, then this is sufficient grounds for the driver to be fined. A police officer may decide that the lack of a mudguard on a car is the reason the car is unsuitable for use. During the year, the inspector has the right to fine for such a violation, and the amount of the punishment is quite symbolic.

Thus, the fine for the absence of mudguards is only rubles.

Sequence of actions when installing (replacing) mudguards

We take priority safety measures: install wheel chocks, engage first gear, and squeeze the handbrake.
We jack up the “necessary” side of the car and remove the wheel.
We apply an apron and mark the location of the factory holes. We mark new ones as needed.
We drill the missing holes and lubricate them with anti-corrosion mastic to prevent the formation of rust.
We remove the factory locker and install it on top of the standard one if you purchase a SPARCO.

By analogy, we fix the rear mudguards on the Grant Liftback.

Reviews

№	Positive
1.	Vasily: Factory lockers are enough for me. They look nicer than other analogues. If you encounter a large puddle along the route, then nothing will save you from the mud.
2.	Vladimir : A year has already passed since the purchase of the car, there are no comments, the aprons are holding tight, they survived the winter and did not crack.
3.	Kirill: I caught a snowdrift several times in winter, I thought I would tear off the apron, but nothing, they held on confidently.
4.	Vladislav: I’m pleased with the quality of production of the factory aprons, they repeatedly clung to the curb, they held up and did not deform.
5.	Ignat: I’ve heard a number of negative reviews about the quality of the plastic, but I can’t confirm it. I've been using the car for over a year, factory lockers are installed.
Negative
1.	Victor: The standard aprons lasted six months, after which they fell off in the winter. I didn’t bother and bought new universal ones.
2.	Ivan: the quality of production of my native aprons is poor, they are fragile, in the cold they become deformed and burst. They recommended installing it from Renault Logan, the location of the fasteners is identical.
3.	Gennady: I don’t recommend factory lockers, install universal ones from Renault Logan. The quality is poor, they become deformed in the cold.

Conclusion

Lada Granta Liftback must be equipped with mud flaps to protect the body from dirt, snow, and sand. Since the width of the standard lockers is not enough for effective protection, we recommend installing long mudguards on the Granta Liftback.

Installation of mudguards for Lada Granta Liftback

When purchasing aprons, give preference to those made of rubber; plastic ones are more likely to become deformed and subject to damage. Be sure to check for the presence of a mounting hole in the top of the mudguard. If not available, drill it yourself.

Reliable fixation is the key to long service life.

Arch protection

Wheel arches on Lada cars have always been a weak point. All sorts of dirt and debris always accumulate there, and some other oil will leak out: and you end up with corrosion all over the wheel. Previously, even on Soviet cars, iron arch protection was installed, which was tightly attached over the original arches and, in fact, simply rusted in their place. During their operation, various problems often arose, up to their complete wear and falling onto the wheel while driving. Today, cars, including Lada, are supplied immediately with a certain protection of the arches from corrosion. The opinions of car owners about them are very different: some say that this is quite enough, while others are sure that additional reinforcement is simply necessary. In any case, if you drive a lot, and especially in winter, then installing fender liners is simply necessary.

The first thing that becomes noticeable if you don’t install fender liners is how the paint slowly begins to peel off from the edge of the arches. All sorts of flying pebbles and other dirt just slowly knock it down

And inside the arches simply begin to rust, and if you do not pay attention to all this, then after a few years you may notice with horror that your suspension begins to fall off. And here there will be no time for jokes: you will have to weld the holes so as not to weld them into the new arches into the body

And it’s good if the body is initially galvanized. In this case, you can ignore everything that is happening for a longer time, but the result will still be the same.

The first thing you can do to protect your Lada car from corrosion is to install plastic fender liners, which have infected the car market with their popularity for a long time. They cover the entire arch with high quality, they rust and are made of such dense plastic that they cannot break in the arch. The only subjective drawback to using them is that most often they are attached to the arch with self-tapping screws. It is really subjective, since during normal installation the holes are treated with anticorrosive, and very often the wheel arch liners are simply glued on and there is simply no need to make holes. In addition, modern cars often already have special holes for mounting fender liners. You just have to specifically look for the necessary fender liners for this car; perhaps this will be some difficulty, but most often you can cope. As a last resort, you can always order from the manufacturer, although you will have to wait some time.
