for your 99 agu for the bootlid handle you require part number 1J0 827 565 B GRU and is around £50 then you need to factor in painting and removing fitting etc unless your handy with tools/paint  :wink:

Mate you can try taking it to vw I'm sure I read in service book you get 12 year paint warranty but not 100% would need to check when I get back home
