£29 for a pair I paid. from the dealers, tried tinting them too but couldn't get the match  quite right with my R32/Valeo rear reds.

....Eeek!! I paid less than £3 each for mine from my VW dealer. Are you sure they didn't accidentally put the decimal point in the wrong place and they should have been £2.90?

Laminex should do it nicely but won't there be some loss of visible reflection? I don't see any sense in making your car look less visible in the dark for the sake of looking cool in the daylight.

The laminex is really difficult to apply correctly as they are a complex shape to the edge. I did it, but was not happy so got them sprayed for 30 quid and they are a perfect match and you cant even tell they have been sprayed.  :happy2:
