I have euro-spec Golf III mudflaps on mine. If you have the patience for it, you'll see them pop up on ebay.de with some regularity. <http://tinyurl.com/3yzz2k> The above are identical to what I put on. They're shorter than either the aftermarket or the SA T3 flaps, but they're long enough and stiff enough to keep the spray and rocks down . The hardest part is waiting for a set to pop up that a) will ship to the US (Versand Nach: weltweit), and b) accepts a payment form that doesn't cost us an arm and a leg here (e.g. paypal, rather than bank transfer/uberweisung). Of course, if you know someone in germany, you could have them grab it and send it on to you...* *
