The vast majority of members here have bought their LED tails from a German VW dealer, who ships them out. (Very few go the TMTuning route.) See this post:

When I bought mine, they cost around 530 Euros.

Just ordered black OEM black radiator bottle caps & washer reservoir cap

Black Washer Bottle Cap: OEM part number 1K0955455 Black VW Volkswagen mk3 mk4 mk5 mk6 audi r8 a4 a6 a8

Notes: You will need to email them to get their PayPal address to make payment. Cost for mine was $30 AUD including shipping.


Black Radiator overflow bottle cap: GENUINE SKODA SEAT AUDI VW RADIATOR COOLANT TANK CAP 3C0121321 | eBay

Notes: No picture on their ebay store, but i have confirmed with them that this part number is for the black coloured cap - as shown below. Cost was approx $25 AUD including shipping.


This is what they look like once fitted (i have pinched this pic from Vortex where someone else has bought these items).

Nice, shame there's no fancier texture to them for the money. Think I'll stay with the cheesy blue since my car is blue and nothing else under the bonnet looks exceptional

Ryan - just paint them with matt black plastic paint.

I agree. The washer fluid cap in particular was a little pricey (shipping was more than the item) but they will look nicer in black than the blue. There are some nice billet alloy covers (Jcaps) you can get, but they are pretty pricey and i didnt want to attract attention to a washer cap.

Ryan - just paint them with matt black plastic paint.

Yes i thought of trying this....but not sure if the paint would last in the heat etc? I was considering getting the Audi R8 coolant cap, but i think it looks a bit silly in the Golf. The R8 oil cap on the other hand looks really nice and im glad i bought that.

Just installed OEM "Alloy look" glovebox handle. Fiddly bugger of a thing to install BTW:
