    I bought the euro version for Prius v Three (2014) from this site. They came and are nowhere a match for the holes on this vehicle. Or, they are the wrong flaps all together???? I am in the process of exchanging for the other version. Anybody else try this euro version on US vehicle? Too bad, I would like the larger size for the Boston area weather and roads.

    Seems to me you have to drill holes anytime you install mudflaps.

    It appears I wound up ordering the wrong ones since nothing whatsoever lines up; my error. I will just go with Toyota SET U.S.A OEM. Like I said the larger ones I think would be a benefit on the v. It's a lowercase v for any interested, not an uppercase. It causes all too often confusion with the 2010 Prius V, which uses an uppercase V.

    Several after market generic ones with larger flaps can be found at your local auto accessories stores.
    Some have clip-on design without drilling!

    The Prius v (LOWERCASE v) is not sold in Europe. The Prius Plus is sold instead, which is different, it's a 7 seater with a LiOn battery.

    Same body though, so mudflaps would interchange, if there were 'Euro' mudflaps for the +
