The Opel Combo E from 2018 onwards is available in short and long wheelbase versions and with different rear door configurations. When choosing the correct wheel arch covers, the vehicle length is the main factor: both L1H1 and L2H1 are suitable, but the covers must be shortened for the L1 version.
The set includes two vehicle-specific wheel arch covers made from 3 mm HDPE/ABS plastic for the left and right wheel arches. The material is flexible and UV-resistant and can be integrated into an existing or newly planned cargo area conversion.
Which wheel arch covers fit my Opel Combo E?
In short: These wheel arch covers are designed for the Opel Combo E from 2018 onwards in L1H1 and L2H1 versions with either a tailgate or rear barn doors. For the short L1 version, the covers must be shortened during installation. The set includes two flexible, UV-resistant covers made from 3 mm HDPE/ABS plastic.
⚠️ Important for Opel Combo E L1:
The wheel arch covers are suitable for the short L1H1 version, but they must be shortened before installation.
The longer L2H1 version does not require this L1-specific adjustment.
Opel Combo E L1 or L2 – how to identify your vehicle
The Opel Combo E is available in two relevant vehicle lengths. The shorter L1H1 version has a wheelbase of 2,785 mm and an overall length of 4,403 mm. The longer L2H1 version has a wheelbase of 2,975 mm and an overall length of 4,753 mm.
Both versions are listed with either a tailgate or rear barn doors, so the rear door configuration does not change the basic wheel arch cover assignment.

Short Combo or long Combo – vehicle length makes the difference
The difference between L1 and L2 is easy to check using the vehicle dimensions. The wheelbase increases from 2,785 mm on L1 to 2,975 mm on L2, while the overall vehicle length increases from 4,403 mm to 4,753 mm.
This distinction is particularly important because the installation procedure differs for the short version. The L1 covers need to be shortened, while the L2 version does not require this specific adjustment.
Protect the wheel arches in the Combo E cargo area
The Opel Combo E is commonly used as a compact Commercial Vehicle for service work, trades, deliveries and everyday transport. In these applications, the cargo area is often used efficiently and loaded close to the sides of the vehicle.
The wheel arches project into the cargo compartment and can therefore come into direct contact with boxes, tools, containers and other cargo.
The shaped covers fit over the left and right wheel arches and provide an additional protective layer in these exposed areas.
3 mm HDPE/ABS plastic – flexible and UV-resistant
According to the product specification, the wheel arch covers are made from 3 mm HDPE/ABS plastic. The material is flexible and UV-resistant.
The set includes two shaped plastic covers – one for the left and one for the right wheel arch.
The covers can be used as standalone wheel arch protection or added to suitable existing interior lining. They do not replace a cargo floor, side wall lining or any necessary load-securing equipment.

Special installation requirement for the L1 version
The short Opel Combo E L1 requires an additional adjustment during installation: the wheel arch covers must be shortened to suit the vehicle length.
Before trimming the material, position the covers at the wheel arches and check the required fit carefully.
Installation note for L1:
The wheel arch covers are suitable for the L1 version, but must be shortened before final installation. Always check the required fit on the vehicle before cutting the material.
Compatible with existing interior lining
The wheel arch covers can also be fitted as an addition to existing interior lining.
If a cargo floor or side wall panels are already installed but the wheel arches remain exposed, the covers can be added separately, provided that there is sufficient space for installation.
For vehicles already equipped with shelving, cabinets or other fixed equipment, check accessibility around both wheel arches beforehand.
Installation by clamping, screwing or bonding
Depending on the individual cargo area setup, the covers can be installed by clamping, screwing or bonding.
The most suitable fixing method depends on the surrounding interior components and the existing or planned vehicle conversion.
Installation hardware:
The required installation hardware is not included. Screws, adhesive or other fixings must be selected according to the chosen installation method and the vehicle setup.
Practical tip: check two details before ordering
With the Opel Combo E, two checks make selection particularly straightforward: first identify whether the vehicle is L1 or L2, then confirm whether it has a tailgate or rear barn doors.
The rear door configuration does not change the listed vehicle dimensions, but confirming both details helps avoid mixing up vehicle versions when checking the specification.
And if you have an L1, remember the extra step: measure first, shorten second. The opposite order tends to make the working day unnecessarily exciting. 😄
