MK2 Golf Wheel Arch Trim

[gholian]

Hi,
I am looking to put big bumpers on a 91 two door Golf CL. The big bumpers stick out from the wings more than the small bumpers so I need to put on the trim around the wheel arches to make them look right. I picked up for the rear bumper some wheel arch trim that doesn't cover the whole wheel arch but just goes to the top of the bumper. I have been searching for the same type of trim for the front bumper but can't find it. Has anyone ever seen on a golf with big bumpers the wheel arch trim that doesn't cover all the arch but just over the bumper. Please let me know.

Thanks.

Sorry can't see the picture.

That is great if they exist. What type of Golf are they used on typically. Would it be from 21990 onwards.

Thanks,

I think you can, I was looking at Ebay.de a few days back and spotted a complete set:

And partnumbers of the frontpieces only:
Driverside: 191 853 707
Passengerside: 191 853 708

And I expect them to be really cheap too! In the Netherlands about 12 euro per side.

Just for the record, the 1990-1991 Golf GL and Jetta GL used the big bumpers, but without the wide flares. The CL and GT retained the small bumpers, while the GTI got the big bumpers and flares.
