    Caps are cheap off Ebay.

    Fitted these to my R, cost me $41 delivered .... perfect fit and looks good close up. You can go more expensive if you wanted, though I'd doubt it would look any better.

    In fact I stood next to R Wolfsburg today and the caps are identical (now)

    Sorry, I do have them but won't be selling them, if I ever sell the Wolfie I'm sure the buyer will be expecting the car to have them (they cost a crazy amount to buy as an OEM item from VW).

    Not a problem. I’ve seen many people have problems with cheaper carbon fiber caps where the fibers separate from the top clear coat layer. It seems to be due to exposure to sunlight definitely not something you want. I might just go for the gloss black OEM ones on my white silver metallic mk7.5 R
