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.
○ Lawyer's advice: how to avoid a fine.
But let’s imagine that, despite the rarity, you are the one who is unlucky, and the traffic police inspector who stopped you is trying to fine you for the lack of mud flaps. What to do in this case?
First of all, you should ask the traffic police officer on what basis he requires you to have mud flaps. If your car is old or foreign-made, there is a chance to avoid a fine: on old Soviet cars, mud flaps were not initially installed by the manufacturer, and some models of foreign cars, instead of rubber mud flaps, can be equipped with specially shaped wings that prevent dirt from flying away.
At the same time, by virtue of Art. 1.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation in this case, it is not you who must prove that mudguards are not provided for by the design - but the inspector that there is a violation. If you have a valid inspection certificate, which was carried out without mudguards, this method will work, since installing mudguards is already a change in the design of the car.
In addition, you can refer to clause 2.3.1 of the traffic rules
According to this norm, if there is a malfunction specified in the list from the appendix to the traffic rules, the driver is obliged to take measures for repairs, and if this is not possible, move to the repair site, observing safety precautions. The absence of mudguards is not one of those malfunctions in which movement is absolutely prohibited (as, for example, in the event of a malfunction of the brake system)
If a protocol is drawn up, you will need to make a note in it with the following content: “There were no faults when leaving the parking lot, I acted in accordance with the traffic rules.” This will come in handy if the mudguards provided by the design actually fall off along the way. In general, do not agree with a fine under any circumstances - otherwise you will not be able to challenge it.
Well, the most important thing is to keep an eye on the car and check the strength of the mudguards. This is easier than appealing the decision to avoid a fine.

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.

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.
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.
