    Fender Flares

    That it pretty tuff looking......

    Only way to really know if they'd fit would be to buy a set and see, or measuring the wheel arches of both cars and comparing.

    Those flares are so big, even if the wheel opening is not exactly the same, it doesn't look like it'd be hard to trim open the stock wheel opening to work with these flares.

    my boss had a euro wide body kit at the shop some time ago, really really thin
    the vw arches are a lot smaller and the front and rear aprons really tuck in
    I think we have a set of stock flares at work , i'll grab them and see how close they are if anyone's interested
