What kind of car ? VAG (Skoda) maybe ?

Neither - the Mercedes one is from an early to mid 1990s Merc and has nothing to do with the CLA (my boss in 1994 had an E200 with those covers), the other is a standard Skoda one from the Octavia / Fabia. You can get the earlier one for very little money from most auto shops - I fitted them to my 1995 205 Turbo Diesel.

It really depends on your drive - if you do mostly motorway / highway then you can go extreme and fit a totally flat cover of some kind or just pump up your tyres, and use better technique for the most return. If you do mostly in town then better technique (search for videos here) will give you better MPG.
