These aren't an oem vw part. They are basically just a piece of plastic laser cut in the shape of a mudguard, i just then trimmed it to fit the shape of the M2 wheel arch.
Wouldn't be too hard to make yourself if you had the tools.

Gotcha. However, VW makes OEM ones for the Golf.

Quick update. I got in touch with Nate from IND and after presenting him with the concept he said they would be interested in discussing it further. Once Bimmerfest is over with I'm going to reach back out and get a dialog going.

Universal ones from ebay, and drill them. The only thing is the original rivets for the fender liners don't fit

They are made from HDPE Plastic and initially made for a VW Golf. I just modified them to fit the M2.

Front mud flaps ?

I'd definitely be in for these especially if @IND-Distribution gets involved. I'm sure they could come up with something that looks great and looks OEM.

I'm surprised that these aren't a factory option. My old 370Z had body-colored splash guards that actually improved the car's look IMO. In the end the rockers and rear wheel area still got chewed up but I'm sure the splash guards were better than nothing.

First style looks just like mine.

Second style doesn't look like they would offer much protection against stone chips down the side of the car unfortunately.

You have to push the centre pin through and the outer just pulls out, be mindful that it is almost impossible to do this without the centre falling through behind the liner, i spent ages trying to find it so might be handy to grab some spares.

Google rallyflapz they do very similar for the M2 I've got them fitted. They protect the sills but you still get crap thrown up against the rear wheel arches.

How do they look on the car? Do they stick out a lot like the Rally Armor flaps you see on Subaru's?
