If the above do not have them (32 euros posted) then 2nd hand is your only option as I reckon the JK ones are for a beetle.....hence not being listed in the t25 section

32 euros!
9,90 euros from VW over here.
Do VW not stock them in the UK?

Sorry I was wrong!
Pt. Nr. 251 407 691a Fettkappe VW - 8,10 euros - that was back in 2008.
Several folks have been after these have they suddenly become must steal items.

Probably why they are now obsolete. Only take a few to have a run on a part and that's it.
