The sides are available from GoWesty as repro's. The bottom or is it top (brain fart sorry) is still available from VW.

I gotta be honest though in that I would use the political

break down because of UV issues and will be will protected inside the nose of our vans. I have also run several vans where these pieces are missing and have seen no change
in coolant temp.
