I have the elbows and bellows and hoses, but they will only fit if 
you are using a stock muffler.  These parts usually get thrown away 
when someone installs a header exhaust and only later are missed.
I have the front hoses also, but I just buy these from VW.  Last time 
I checked they were still available.  You might try your dealer first 
to see what they can order for you.
