You can get them from vw. Not to expensive about a tenner.
Think you can get them in primer. If you give them your reg details they should be able to find the part number for you  :smiley:

It will need blending if you want it to match. Especially on silver or white.

Im going to order the part.
whats the best way to paint it up?  is it matter of buying the correct vw spray can and spraying it myself, does it need another finish coat after?
or should i get vw to spray it, think they want £20 to spray per washer.

advice appreciated guys

the long plastic hose that pops out (marked by the arrow) on the bumper is cracked now, to replace this does the bumper need to come off?
anyone know the part number?
