Nope. There are 3 variations of this depending on which country the vehicle is being produced for based on country regulations.

I dont know which countries they specifically apply to but below is limited summary

1) US - no rear wheel well plastic
2) UK (or at least some parts of Europe) - short (~2-4") strip near 10 o'clock position
3) Some other Euro / Asian countries - long strip seen in the above photos.
It actually has to by law in the USA if the tire sticks out a certain point from the wheel arch. Rs3's have a small piece in the back in the USA. As well as my buddies RCF
