Application — 2022-Present Volkswagen Bora 4th Gen MQB
The Volkswagen Bora (大众宝来) is a China-developed compact sedan manufactured by the FAW-Volkswagen joint venture. First introduced in 2001 as a rebadged Mk4 Jetta, the Bora has evolved through four distinct generations — with the current 4th Gen (2018-present) marking a complete platform migration to Volkswagen's modular MQB architecture.
2022 Facelift — What Changed
The June 2022 mid-cycle refresh brought significant exterior updates that affect accessory fitment awareness:
Front fascia redesigned — wider two-bar chrome grille integrated with LED headlights, revised lower bumper with C-shaped chrome accents
Dimensions adjusted — length increased 9mm to 4,672mm, height increased 16mm to 1,478mm (wheel arch dimensions unchanged)
Powertrain simplified — 1.5L naturally aspirated engine discontinued; lineup now 1.2T (116hp/200Nm) and 1.4T (150hp/250Nm) exclusively
LED lighting standard — full LED headlights and daytime running lights across all trims
Market Presence
With over 3.5 million cumulative units sold in China by 2022 and approximately 231,000 annual sales, the Bora ranks among China's top-selling compact sedans. While primarily a China domestic model, the 4th Gen Bora has entered several export channels:
Russia (parallel import) — Since VW suspended Russian operations in 2022, China-made Boras have entered the Russian market through parallel import schemes, with 1.5L/1.4T variants priced around 2.5 million rubles
Middle East re-export — Dubai-based dealers offer the Bora "Legend" trim for re-export to Africa, CIS, and Latin American markets
Used car export — Growing secondary market for Chinese domestic Boras exported as used vehicles to developing markets
Aftermarket Supply Note
The Bora's status as a China-specific model means OEM accessories and replacement parts are primarily distributed through FAW-VW's domestic dealer network. For aftermarket exporters serving Russia, the Middle East, and Africa — where local VW dealerships do not stock Bora-specific accessories — direct sourcing from Chinese aftermarket manufacturers represents the primary supply channel. Our mud flaps are developed using original Bora 4th Gen CAD data and verified against both 2018-2021 (pre-facelift) and 2022-Present (facelift) body dimensions to ensure consistent fitment.
Product Overview — Bora 4th Gen Mud Flaps
These mud flaps are precision-engineered for the 2022-Present Volkswagen Bora 4th Gen MQB sedan. Designed to match the Bora's specific wheel arch contours, they provide effective splash and debris deflection while maintaining the vehicle's clean OEM appearance.
Key Features
Model-specific molding — Developed from Bora 4th Gen (MQB) CAD wheel arch data, not universal-fit. Covers the full contour of the front and rear wheel openings
High-density PP construction — Durable polypropylene material with high elasticity and impact resistance; withstands repeated bending without cracking in cold climates (relevant for Russian/CIS markets)
Factory black finish — UV-stabilized black coloring throughout the material (not surface-coated), resistant to fading under prolonged sun exposure in Middle Eastern and tropical climates
Complete 4-piece set — Two front + two rear mud flaps, pre-drilled with mounting holes aligned to the Bora's factory fender liner attachment points
Fastener kit included — Plastic fender fastener clips, U-clip screws, and Allen screws with hex key provided for installation
Optional material upgrades — PP+TPE (enhanced cold-weather flexibility), TPE (premium elastomer), or ABS (rigid option) available per buyer specification
Quality Control
Edge finishing: smooth rounded edges, no burrs or sharp corners
Fitment tolerance: ±1.5mm at all mounting points
Material consistency: uniform thickness (±0.3mm) across each piece
Packaging: each set individually wrapped with foam sheet separation to prevent transit scratches

Installation & OEM Options
Installation Process
These mud flaps are designed for tool-assisted installation using the Bora's existing fender liner mounting points — no drilling required on factory-equipped vehicles.
Position check — Hold each mud flap against the corresponding wheel arch to verify contour alignment before mounting
Fastener removal — Remove the existing plastic fender liner clips at the mounting positions (typically 3-4 points per wheel arch)
Mud flap placement — Align the pre-drilled holes on the mud flap with the factory mounting points
Secure with fasteners — Insert the provided plastic clips and U-clip screws; tighten Allen screws to firm contact (do not overtighten)
Final check — Verify all four flaps are secure and evenly positioned; check clearance at full steering lock (front) and suspension compression (rear)
