The VW Caddy V from 2020 onwards is available in different vehicle lengths. Choosing the correct wheel arch covers therefore depends on which version you drive: the compact Caddy V L1 with short wheelbase or the longer Caddy Maxi L2.
This set includes two vehicle-specific wheel arch covers made from 3 mm ABS plastic for the left and right sides of the vehicle. Simply select the version that matches your vehicle using the product options. This provides a dedicated wheel arch protection solution for both the short Caddy V and the longer Caddy Maxi.
Which wheel arch covers fit my VW Caddy V?
In short: Two vehicle-specific versions are available: one for the VW Caddy V L1 from 2020 onwards and one for the VW Caddy Maxi L2 from 2021 onwards. Before ordering, simply select the product option that matches your vehicle length.
Caddy V L1 or Caddy Maxi L2 – which version do I have?
The vehicle length is the key factor when choosing the correct wheel arch covers. The shorter Caddy V L1 and the longer Caddy Maxi L2 differ in wheelbase, cargo length and overall vehicle length.
The following dimensions can help you identify your vehicle version:

Why protect the wheel arches in the Caddy V?
The VW Caddy is often used where a full-size van would be larger than necessary but a conventional passenger car would not provide enough cargo space. Tradespeople, service technicians, courier companies and delivery operators therefore make particularly efficient use of the available cargo area.
Both wheel arches project into the usable cargo space. When toolboxes, parcels, transport containers and other cargo are loaded or removed, these areas can easily come into direct contact with the load.
The vehicle-specific plastic covers fit over the left and right wheel arches and provide an additional layer of protection in these exposed areas.
Compact L1 or spacious Caddy Maxi?
The shorter Caddy V L1 is particularly suitable when compact exterior dimensions and manoeuvrability are important. The Caddy Maxi L2, on the other hand, provides additional cargo space for tools, materials or larger transport containers.
Regardless of vehicle length, both wheel arches remain exposed areas within the cargo compartment. For vehicles that are regularly loaded and unloaded, additional wheel arch protection can therefore be a useful part of the cargo area conversion.
3 mm ABS plastic for both wheel arches
The wheel arch covers are made from 3 mm 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 protection or combined with an existing cargo floor and interior lining. They do not replace load securing or any other necessary protective or conversion components in the vehicle.

Plan wheel arch protection as part of your cargo area conversion
If a Caddy V is being converted for use as a trade, service or delivery vehicle, it makes sense to include the wheel arch covers when planning the cargo floor and side wall lining.
This allows the transitions between the individual components to be considered from the start. It is particularly useful if shelving systems, tool cabinets or other permanent vehicle equipment will be installed later.
Once these fittings are in place, access to the areas around the wheel arches may become considerably more difficult.
Suitable for retrofitting to an existing conversion
The plastic covers can also be installed as an addition to existing interior lining.
For example, if a cargo floor is already installed but the wheel arches are still unprotected, these areas can be covered separately. Where shelving or other vehicle equipment is already fitted, check that there is sufficient access and space for installation.
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 or planned cargo area conversion, allowing the wheel arch protection to be integrated into different vehicle setups.
Installation note:
The required installation hardware is not included. Screws, adhesive or other fixings must be selected to suit the chosen installation method and the individual installation situation.
Practical tip: check the vehicle length before selecting the version
Choosing the correct Caddy V version is straightforward: L1 is the short version, while Maxi L2 is the longer version. If you are unsure which vehicle you have, compare the key dimensions in the table above.
Once the vehicle length has been identified, simply select the corresponding product option before ordering.
