    Can anyone recommend anywhere to get the orinigal mudflaps for a Mk6 golf at a reasonable price? Crazy price for 4 bits of plastic with the dealers?

    Could take the mud flaps from this one? I'm sure you'd get a good deal.
    Dealers prices are insane for little parts like these, I was quoted 65 euro for 2 vw centre caps

    They can be hit and miss. I think full set for my Octavia was €24. Priced them for a Transporter and they were something like €320 plus Vat.

    €114+Vat the cheapest dealer atm.
    Crazy money for pre drilled bits of plastic?

    I use a UK virtual address from an post addresspal, there's loads on UK eBay for around £14, +€6 for delivery to Ireland. Shouldn't be any additional charges as it's under €22.

    What's the story with the an post address pal now with Brexit? Does it still work as normal or are you more at risk of being customs shafted on goods?

    They now default to delivering to your house, and it's €6 instead of €4. You also have to pay vat if the item is over €22.

    I still use eBay UK, but be careful with vat. I bought something for £16, revenue said it was worth €35 and I have to pay vat at that price. The wish mudflaps seem decent.

    You use it through the an post way though yes? Few things I need off it but most sellers never ship to Ireland even before Brexit.
    Joke parcel motel even closed up shop here

    I still use it, but not as much since revenue overvalue my deliveries more than I would like.
