I'd get the second one as it genuine, so will fit well and be if good quality.

1st link sellers feedback is sh%t  2nd price seems ok but always check TPS if you have one close

I'd avoid both (I say both but they are actually the same person and the UK address they give is just serviced offices, hence people complaining that parts take a long time to arrive). They are a Germany based company.
Put the address into Google Earth and go for a street walk, you'll see their "office".  :surprised:


Keeping it original..............or not!!

Well spotted andyR43 :happy2:  Id take the risk with the 2nd one as it states "genuine" If it arrives non genuine they will have to refund as well as pay for return postage :happy2:
 Would be worth asking 1st :happy2:

I had to get a new one from VW, as it's a raree Westfalia type with the tow bar hole and cover... everything was £97, I was very surprised. There is often no logic to VW pricing, so always worth getting a price from main dealer or TPS for the genuine part.

Good luck
