If so you can get some OSIR ones and fit them yourself as it is really easy to do and takes about 10-15mins

You would be better off keeping your eye out on eBay for a Wheel & airbag. Or even on here as they sometimes crop up. Then just get someone near by with VCDS & the know how to fit and code it for you. Either that or see if your dealer will.

In that case then a VW dealer but it will cost you prob twice as much than if you get the parts yourself and get the assistance of a friendly forum member to help fit if there is one near you/within sensible travelling distance
