I bought these:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152859308941 (pins)

You can buy complete sets but the above worked out cheaper for me

Hello [ref]Liam22[/ref], how can you be sure that the VW pins will be the exact replacement? Im not denying you're right, it's only that I wish i knew ways to buy parts from other brands that perform the same at a fraction of the price!

Hello [ref]Liam22[/ref], how can you be sure that the VW pins will be the exact replacement?

I do some research, check the dimensions, and cross-ref the part numbers. Then I take a punt.

They are fitted to my car right now.

The value of the pound is a bigger issue than the import duty!!! I was lucky enough to pick these up when I was in the US earlier this year. Perhaps I should have brought back a few sets...
