I too searched some of the auto/truck sites for the other aftermarket wheel
arch extensions and did not find anything that fit the vanagon.

I would imagine that if enough of us asked a particular manufacturer they
might consider developing them.

If we can indeed find this person who was selling his vacuum formed ones,
maybe we can pool together a get an order going with this person.

Give then amount of plastic, the simplicity of the vacuum forming process
over an existing extension, the cost should only be a couple of dollars per
extension.

I was thinking of taking a mold of the wheel arch myself and see if I could
fabricate something.

If anyone finds this this ebay reseller again please let me know.

Roo-Bar/Bull Bar for the US:
As far as those ROO Bars go, I searched for those too. The company that
makes them has no website that I could find. I found lots of guards for sale
but how does one know if they would even fit? Non the less function
properly?
