Interesting, just had a look at that and their approach seems both brutal and unnecessary.
1. The Skoda parts are fan jets, look good.
2. Connectors look the same as Audi D2. Better.
3. Size looks VERY similar, I think there may be an easier way to fit them without modifying the panel.

I'm going to see if I can get a cheap pair to experiment with. Part number is 6Y0 955 986.

Edit: Alternative part number 5J0 955 986 available from China for £7 each. There are triple-jet and fan versions of these as far as I can see, not sure how the part numbers correspond.
If nothing else it will be probably the cheapest way of getting the connectors!
