I sold a pair of fibreglass wider rear wings like you described to Derek Sheane of VWHeaven in Wicklow a few years back. It might be worth a shot to ask if he still has them.

alternatively, you could get a bit DIY with your steel wings:

thanks Trev,i will try and contact Derek so-would you have a number for him by any chance?
i thought the 924 steel arms wouldn't be much wider than stock,but between that and the wider type3 hubs,i will need to go at least an inch wider-was thinking a disk kit or refitting the original hubs might help a lot tho.
thanks for the help..

its actually about two inches Trev.I think I might have found a set of 50mm ones-was told it is possible to narrow the trailing arms by an inch too.i don't know how yet.thanks for the help tho-the 4" ones might be a bit too big for me alright-cheers!
