The VW Caddy from 2003 to 2020 was available with both short and long wheelbases. For these wheel arch covers, the vehicle length is the key selection criterion: choose the correct version for the L1 with a 2,682 mm wheelbase or the Caddy Maxi L2 with a 3,000 mm wheelbase.
Each version is supplied as a set of two vehicle-specific wheel arch covers made from 3 mm ABS plastic for the left and right sides. The plastic covers provide additional protection for the projecting wheel arches and can be installed in an unlined vehicle or added to an existing cargo area conversion.
Which wheel arch covers fit my VW Caddy?
In short: Two versions are available for the VW Caddy from 2003 to 2020: L1 with a short 2,682 mm wheelbase and Caddy Maxi L2 with a long 3,000 mm wheelbase. Select the version that matches your vehicle before ordering.
Please select the correct version:
L1 – short wheelbase: 2,682 mm
L2 / Caddy Maxi – long wheelbase: 3,000 mm
The wheel arch covers are supplied to suit the selected vehicle version.
VW Caddy L1 or Caddy Maxi L2 – what is the difference?
For this product, the model year is not the only important factor. The wheelbase is particularly important when selecting the correct version. Although the short Caddy and the Caddy Maxi belong to the same vehicle family, they differ significantly in length.

Wheel arch protection for short and long Caddy models
Whether you drive the short Caddy or the Maxi, the two wheel arches project into the usable cargo area and can easily come into contact with toolboxes, transport boxes, parcels or other cargo during everyday loading and unloading.
The ABS covers fit over the existing wheel arches and create an additional protective layer between the vehicle and the cargo.
This targeted protection can be particularly useful in a Caddy, where the available cargo space is often used very efficiently.
3 mm ABS plastic for the left and right wheel arches
The wheel arch covers are made from 3 mm ABS plastic. The material is flexible and UV-resistant.
The set includes two plastic covers – one for the left and one for the right wheel arch.
The covers can be used on their own or combined with an existing or planned cargo floor and side wall lining.

Which Caddy benefits most from wheel arch protection?
The two vehicle lengths are often used for different purposes. The short Caddy L1 is particularly manoeuvrable and is frequently used as a service or urban delivery vehicle. The Caddy Maxi provides additional space for tools, materials and larger transport containers.
In both versions, the wheel arches are located within the usable cargo area. The more efficiently this space is used, the more likely the wheel arches are to come into direct contact with cargo.
Typical applications include:
-
Service and maintenance vehicles
-
Trade and installation vehicles
-
Courier and delivery vehicles
-
Vehicles equipped with toolboxes and shelving systems
-
Privately or commercially converted Caddy vans
Retrofit wheel arch covers to an existing conversion
The plastic covers can be fitted as an addition to existing interior lining.
Even if a cargo floor or side wall lining is already installed, the wheel arches may still remain exposed. In this case, protection can be added specifically to these areas.
If shelving or other permanent equipment is already installed, check beforehand that the wheel arch areas are still sufficiently accessible.
Installation by clamping, screwing or bonding
Depending on the installation situation, the wheel arch covers can be fitted by clamping, screwing or bonding.
The most suitable method depends on the existing vehicle conversion. For a new conversion, the cargo floor, side wall lining and wheel arch protection can be planned together from the start.
Installation note:
The required installation hardware is not included. Screws, adhesive or other fixings must be selected to suit the chosen installation method.
Practical tip: select the version by wheelbase
With this product, choosing the correct version is straightforward:
-
2,682 mm wheelbase → Caddy L1
-
3,000 mm wheelbase → Caddy Maxi L2
Checking the wheelbase before ordering is the simplest way to distinguish between the two versions and select the correct wheel arch covers.
