That's exactly what they are, little arch bits.

Nothing more nothing less.

Some would have you believe that it's something to do with width regulations but that seems absurd to me. I have them on mine and if you seriously believe these things do anything other than well just be there then that's up to you.

Weird huh!! I can't work out what they do, other than as you say, be there :)

I don’t know why there needed as the tyres don’t stick out past the arch on our golf r with 19 on they are only stuck on but left them there
