Rears mount with the existing fender liner screws. Fronts have two drill points if you choose to for a more secure fit in addition to the existing fender liner screws. I used one of the extra screws on each side. Don't really need to though. Could probably just use double sided adhesive.
Thinking about it...

Where did you purchase your Macan mud flaps, as I would rather not drill additional holes into the fenders?

I can't remember if I got them via Amazon or Ebay. It was 3 years ago.

Default Flaps
Google Porsche Macan splash guards. The ribbed ones fit best from experience and I see a wide range in prices/reviews currently.

If I lived in an area where splash guards would be beneficial, I might consider them. I think I’d buy a more appropriate utility vehicle before slapping on splash guards on a Macan as I’m not a fan of their looks.

I will put up with the esthetic compromise to protect the rockers and rear bumper during winter driving. I will do clearmask too. In my experience the winter road sand they use around here chews through clearmask pretty quickly. Sigh...someday I will retire somewhere without winter, then I won't need a Macan...will daily a 911.

With rare exceptions, like a 10 mile drive up to the Three Horse Winery in the hills, I don't drive "agricultural". If I did, I would have them.

Nope, never in the salt and crap and rarely in the rain. That's what pickup.trucks are for.

Guess even in a thread where the OP actually asked for opinions, others don't want them. Whatever.

Happy to be ignored in the Macan forum. I'm an admin in 3 or 4 of the others so that won't work in those, but have at it here. Not sure why I still subscribe to this one anyway we missed our Macan need window a few years ago which is when I had joined. The 5 sports cars are what we drive now that our 1 kid is driving and our other starts next year and use a larger Cayenne for our vacation car.

Absolutely yes for me on both of my Macans. Especially if you use your Macan for more than your hair dresser appointment.

Decided against mud flaps on my incoming Macan. Decided instead for PPF rockers and fenders instead.

we will see how that goes.
