BYD Seagull Mudguards: e-Platform 3.0 Compact EV Fitment (2023-2024)

Product Overview

These mud flaps are aftermarket PP splash guards designed specifically for the BYD Seagull compact electric hatchback and its export nameplate variants. Each set includes four pieces (front and rear, left and right) with pre-installed fastener clips for direct bolt-on installation. The product is manufactured to original fender dimensions for the e-Platform 3.0 body shell.

Vehicle Fitment Scope

• BYD Seagull (China, Philippines): 2023 to 2024 pre-facelift

• BYD Haiou (Chinese domestic market name): 2023 to 2024

• BYD Dolphin Mini (Latin America, Brazil): 2024 to present, pre-facelift body

• BYD Atto 1 (Indonesia, Thailand): 2025 to present, shared pre-facelift front fascia

• BYD Dolphin Surf (Europe, South Africa): 2025 to present, front likely compatible; rear verify due to 21 cm body extension

Platform and Body Architecture

The BYD Seagull is built on BYD's dedicated e-Platform 3.0 electric vehicle architecture. The vehicle measures 3,780 mm in length with a 2,500 mm wheelbase, making it BYD's smallest production car. The pure-electric layout features a flat floor and blade battery pack, which does not alter the wheel arch geometry relevant to mud flap fitment.

Production Status and Facelift

The Seagull launched in April 2023 and surpassed 1 million units produced by June 2025, becoming the world's fastest pure electric A00-class model to reach this milestone. A facelift in February 2025 revised the front and rear bumper designs and added the God's Eye C driver assistance system. This SKU covers the pre-facelift model (2023 to 2024). For 2025 and later facelift vehicles, bumper profile changes may affect mud flap fitment and should be verified before ordering.

Global Nameplate Strategy

BYD markets the Seagull under different nameplates across regions: Seagull and Haiou in China, Dolphin Mini in Latin America, Dolphin Surf in Europe and South Africa, and Atto 1 in Southeast Asia. All variants share the same e-Platform 3.0 underbody and pre-facelift front fascia design, though the European Dolphin Surf has a 21 cm longer body for regulatory compliance. Buyers sourcing for multiple markets can use this single SKU for all pre-facelift variants except where rear fender dimensions differ.

Compatibility Matrix

Compatible Variants

Vehicles Not Covered

• BYD Seagull 2025+ facelift: revised front and rear bumper profiles, February 2025 update changed fender edge contours

• BYD Dolphin: larger B-segment EV on e-Platform 3.0, different body and wheel arch dimensions (4,290 mm vs 3,780 mm)

• BYD Atto 3 / Yuan Plus: compact crossover SUV, completely different body type and fender profile

• BYD F0 / e1: previous generation A-segment city car, different platform and body

Cross-Reference Notes

The European-market Dolphin Surf is 21 cm longer than the Chinese Seagull due to regulatory adaptations including pedestrian safety bumpers. While the front fascia design is shared with the pre-facelift Seagull (confirmed by BYD Indonesia product information), the rear wheel arch dimensions may differ. Buyers sourcing for European-market Dolphin Surf should request a sample verification for rear panel fitment before placing bulk orders.

The 2024 Honor Edition (Seagull Honor) is cosmetically updated but shares the same body shell and fender dimensions as the 2023 model. It is fully compatible with this SKU.

The 2025 Seagull facelift revised both front and rear bumper designs. The fender arch openings may have changed at the bumper-fender junction. A separate SKU or fitment verification is recommended for 2025 and later models.

Target Market Relevance

The BYD Seagull and its export variants are rapidly expanding across Southeast Asia and Latin America. Indonesia launched the Atto 1 in July 2025, Thailand in March 2026, and the Philippines received the Seagull in October 2024. In Brazil, the Dolphin Mini became the best-selling pure EV with over 20,000 registrations in its first year. BYD began local assembly in Brazil (Camaçari plant) in June 2025, further driving aftermarket demand. AutoBridge positions this product for distributors serving BYD's expanding global dealer network across these growth markets.

Multi-Nameplate Single-SKU Advantage

Because the Seagull, Haiou, Dolphin Mini, and Atto 1 share the same pre-facelift body and fender contours, a single SKU covers four nameplates across China, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. This simplifies inventory management for multi-market distributors and reduces SKU proliferation. Only the European Dolphin Surf requires rear-panel verification due to its longer body.

Installation Guide

Tools Required

• Allen hex key (included in set)

• Phillips screwdriver

• Plastic trim removal tool (optional, for extracting existing fasteners)

Installation Steps

1. Clean the wheel arch area to remove dirt and debris for proper alignment

2. Position the mud flap against the fender contour, aligning with existing fastener holes

3. Insert the U-clip screws through the mud flap mounting holes into the fender slots

4. Secure with Allen screws using the provided hex key, tightening alternately for even pressure

5. Verify clearance between the mud flap edge and tire surface; adjust if necessary to prevent rubbing

6. Repeat for all four wheel positions, ensuring left and right pieces are correctly oriented

Post-Installation

• Inspect fastener tightness after the first 500 km of driving

• Recheck alignment after one week of regular use

• Clean periodically with mild soap and water; avoid petroleum-based solvents that may degrade PP

• Check for cracking or deformation after extreme temperature exposure or off-road use

• Replace individual pieces if damaged; contact AutoBridge for spare part availability

Storage and Handling

Store flat in original packaging away from direct sunlight and heat sources above 60 degrees Celsius. Avoid stacking heavy objects on top of packaged mud flaps to prevent permanent deformation. Shelf life in proper storage conditions exceeds 5 years without material degradation.
