Yeah there both bigger, think its 12mm on the front and 22mm on the back? or other way round, dont quote me on that haha.

For some reason in America the G60 and 16v arches are the same size  :huh:

yeah US 90spec 16v got G60 arches and the 2.0 16v 9a engine from the Passat, just to set it apart from 90spec 8v a bit i guess, it was their equivalent 'top spec' MK2 since they didnt get the G60 or Rallye.

didn't GSF used to do G60 arches for cheap? I would love a full set but can't justify spending so much!

I was able to get mine from my dealership, I got them on back order from germany.

Not sure how that works but i get most stuff like this from dealers. Depends how helpful the parts staff are.

Rears are not that noticable in size.

Have been looking for these items myself, will try my local dealer for a price on these and see what comes up.  In Ireland, sometimes find that dealership stuff is a lot more expensive. I have two new genuine side skirts also, does anyone know if these will fit a 1989 Golf?  Are the sills on a 1990 on (big bumper models) different to suit the side skirts?
