They are around £5 each at the dealers last time I bought some. Best bet is to phone them and find out.

Or theres a guy that has some and he wants about £67 for a set of 4!

Hey folks,

Some little runt nicked two of my rear vw centre caps for 18" RS8's, ended up paying £36 for two off fleabay, only place I could get them.  Went to a well known wheel place base and they told me to buy a new set of wheels, how funny is that guy, lol!

Be careful with where you buy them from....

I bought some centre caps from ebay for my Monty II's, advertised as genuine vw centre caps & paid about £15 for a set of 4. They were purchased from someone in Canada, when they eventually arrived they had actually come from Hong Kong... Turned out that they were not genuine (surprise surprise!!!) & they wouldn't even fit! They were too small for the wheel & wouldnt even clip into place.

I eventually got a refund from the seller after posting negative feedback & ended up buying them from the dealer at a cost of over £25 for a set of 4.
