The mk4 is listed as 55 in wide; so the problem is that a majority of cars are wider then it, and the ones i found that are narrower dont look very aerodynamic.
If you didn't drive the car year round,you could remove the windshield and convert to a spider,with a plex half-bubble in front of just you.You'd be required to wear eye protection as with a motorcycle,and you'd have no wipers.She'd be for fare weather only.
Combined with a head fairing,you could recover some of your fuel.Look at early racing Porsche 356s.
