Wheel arch liner for a vehicle, comprising at least a fibrous layer comprising of thermoplastic bicomponent filaments, consisting of a first polymer forming the core of the bicomponent filament and a second polymer forming the sheath of the bicomponent filament, whereby that the sheath of the bicomponent filament comprises at least one repellent additive of fluorinated or per-fluorinated short chain molecules with a chain length in the range of C4-C14 and whereby the fibrous layer is consolidated by heating thereby melting the sheath polymer forming binding points between the filaments and redistributing the repellent additive forming a liquid repellent consolidated fibrous layer.
