Default Installed my front mud flaps but the rears...

I installed my front OEM flaps yesterday without much issue. The graphic/symbol direction sheet from Audi reminded me a bit of IKEA...no words, only pics...but seemed to cover most everything well. Just take a few mins to look over it before jumping in.
The one thing I have to say is that if you don't feel like taking the wheels off(no torque wrench, no space, etc) it can be done by turning the front wheels out of the way for each side. It will be tight but not impossible by any means.
As far as the rear flaps go, I am returning them to Audi. While the fronts are average size, the rears are just a little too big to keep the lines flowing smoothly IMHO. Hopefully they won't hit me up to bad on "restocking" fees...

I called the dealer, they said the front and back mud flaps are the same. Is it true? for both sedan and avant, or just avant?

thanks

I sounds like they are the same for the avant only. The rear flaps for the sedan are at least twice the size as the fronts.
