Do you mean the wheel center caps? They are around £20 for a genuine new set and copies much cheaper than that on ebay (although quality can be a bit of a lottery). Probably much cheaper than the time and fuel it would cost you to go to the dealers.

That's one of the main reasons I sold my GTI.  VW don't pay enough attention to corrosion.  My 15 year old BMW still looks pristine, the VW was starting to look shabby.
Small potatoes for sure but it just gives a general impression that the cars are made down to a price and then some.
