WTB: Mk1 GTI fender flares

[retro_rocket]

As the title states. MUST be brand new. I have a source for some new fronts so I might only need a new set of rears but any help is appreciated. Checked some of the sites that carry/carried them (RPI, Concept1, etc) but they only carry non-GTI flares anymore. NGP can still get them but they jacked the price on me and don't want to go there unless as a last resort. Can anyone help?

Seems I had a source for these, but I can't remember who it was. But try this on:

Impex claims to have both fronts in stock, OEM VW. Not sure why, but they list them for under $4 each. I double checked, right part number. Maybe someone screwed up. They seem to have stuff you can't get anywhere else though. I checked the rears, they want $48 each for the rears... must be a supply/demand thing since most people don't want the GTI front flares.

If I were you I'd order the fronts, then get a set of 4 standard ones from RPI and sell the front non-gti ones on ebay.

GTI front flares part# 175 853 717a and 175 853 718a. Rears part# 171 853 817a and 171 853 818a.

Thanks for the info, $48 each for the rears is a bit steep though, if that's what it comes to I'll just order from NGP instead - they want $100 for a full set of four which is reasonable enough but their catalog listed them for $80 a set, when I called to ask about ordering some they said if I wanted them they had to special-order them and it was actually going to cost me an extra $20 to do this - WTF? I got pissed because I never saw anything on their website saying there would be an upcharge on any of their parts. So I suppose it's not the cost there that is bugging me quite as much as that I'm just angry at them for jerking me around.

I'm kind of hesitant to order the fronts separate from the rears because if the OEM fronts end up getting paired with repro rears, I'm afraid the quality will probably be different between the two sets, and possibly the color/texture/fitment of any repros might not be up to par with the others.
