Haval F7 Mud Flaps – 4-Piece Splash Guard Set for Compact SUV
The Haval F7 is a compact SUV produced by Haval, a sub-brand of Great Wall Motors (China's largest SUV manufacturer). Launched in 2018 as GWM's first "global model," the F7 is sold in China, Russia, Thailand (locally assembled at GWM's Rayong plant since 2020), Kazakhstan, and the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, UAE). The F7X, introduced in 2019, is the coupe-SUV variant with a sloping roofline. Both models share the same wheel arch geometry, so this mud flap set fits both. AutoBridge supplies mud flaps (also called mudguards, splash guards, or wheel arch protectors) precision-engineered to the F7/F7X's specific wheel arch contour.
Fitment Coverage
2018-2020 F7 / F7X – Early production, same wheel arch geometry
2021-Present F7 / F7X – Minor trim updates, mud flap fitment unchanged
F7X Coupe SUV – Shares wheel arch geometry with standard F7
Why Haval F7 Owners Choose Aftermarket Mud Flaps
The Haval F7 is widely used as a family SUV in China and as an affordable import in Russia, Thailand, and Kazakhstan. In these markets, drivers often encounter unpaved rural roads or construction sites where mud splash damages the paintwork. For used-car exporters shipping China-made Haval SUVs to Southeast Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam) and the CIS (Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus), mud flaps are a common "refresh" item to improve the vehicle's appearance for resale. The F7's 200×270mm (front) and 210×345mm (rear) mud flap dimensions are specific to its wheel arch cladding, which is wider than the smaller Haval F5.
Material and Durability
AutoBridge offers three material options for the Haval F7 mud flaps: PP (polypropylene, standard), PP+TPE (enhanced flexibility in cold weather), and TPE (premium, odorless). All options include pre-drilled holes matching the F7/F7X's factory fastener positions. PP soft plastic is the most popular choice for wholesale orders (100+ sets) due to its balance of cost, flexibility, and weather resistance in both hot (Thailand, Middle East) and cold (Russia, Kazakhstan) climates.
Thailand Market Note
For Thai buyers: GWM's Rayong plant (acquired from GM in 2020) assembles the Haval F7 and H7 for the Thai market. Local assemblies may have slightly different wheel arch cladding from China imports — confirm your production origin (China import vs. Thailand assembly) before ordering. AutoBridge can supply both specifications; contact us with your VIN for confirmation.
Installation Guide for Haval F7 / F7X Mud Flaps
Pre-Install Check
Before installing, confirm your Haval F7/F7X's production origin (China import or Thailand local assembly) and verify the wheel arch geometry matches the mud flap dimensions (front 200×270mm, rear 210×345mm). Thailand-assembled F7s (2021-present) may have minor wheel arch cladding differences from China imports.
Installation Steps
Clean the wheel arch area with isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt, wax, and Thai road tar residue.
Align the front mud flap with the pre-drilled holes in the wheel arch cladding.
Insert the plastic fender fastener clips through the mud flap into the factory holes.
Secure with the provided U-clip screws and Allen key (torque: hand-tight, do not over-tighten).
Repeat for the rear wheels (rear mud flaps are larger: 210×345mm).
Test by spraying water on the wheels to confirm mud flaps deflect splash away from the body.
Climate-Specific Tips
Thailand & Southeast Asia: High ambient temperatures (35°C+) and high humidity can soften PP plastic, making it more flexible during installation. Work in the shade and avoid installing during the hottest part of the day (12:00-15:00). After tape-on install (if chosen), avoid commercial wash tunnels and heavy rain for 24 hours to allow 3M VHB adhesive to fully cure.
Russia & Kazakhstan: In sub-zero temperatures (-20°C to -40°C), PP plastic becomes brittle. If installing in winter, warm the mud flaps to room temperature (20°C) for 2 hours before installation to prevent cracking.
