I saw these in Germany.  They are made by my Wind Deflector supplier.

They look pretty lame to me.  I think they are designed to hide rust holes.
They are very thin and would dent or ding easily, but should work to protect
your wheel arches.

Your concern should be if they will trap water and promote rust.
