I don't know where you can get a set (I just found a set for my Squareback)
but I can tell you that I currently have those shiny "cut your own length"
heater hoses (made of aluminum/cardboard?) from the local VW place on my
Squareback right now.  They seem to work fine for heating the cabin but,
looking at the stock configuration, that would seem to be superior in terms
of heat transfer.  I'll let you know in a couple weeks when I have
everything back to stock.
