If you get the reg number from an .:R, your dealer or local TPS will be able to tell you.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

No not me but what i can tell you is they look easy to fit, held on by what looks like a single torx screw.

Sorry mate. Nice one for the pic. Wonder if the wheel arch lining had the cut out and if there is a screw location on the GTi. Anyone got a part number or schematic, perhaps ETKA?

These are fitted to Golfs and Eos that have factory fitted 235 tyres to keep them legal as the tyres protrude from the wheel arches. Can't see why you would want to retro fit unless you have fitted wider wheels and tyres?  :undecided:
Current: GTI Edition 35 Candy White 5dr DSG 19" Glendale, RCD510+DAB, Dynaudio, Storage Pack, Parking Sensors

Gone: Edition 35, GTI Mk6, Edition 30, GTI Mk4, GTI Mk3, GTI Mk2 and my favourite the UR quattro
For those that dont know DSG is an electronically controlled dual-clutch multiple-shaft manual gearbox
