LOL--i JUST threw out a pile of them that were on my bench for 2 years. But your in luck-I havent made a dump run yet-i'll fish them out for you. Just so we are talking about the same thing--these were for a small hub cap that just cover the lug area.

Yes those be the critters!!!   Several of mine have broken and gone missing..   I'm really digging the hub caps and trim rings since I painted the wheels black... Not to mention no more leaky alloy wheels..  IF you find them let me know!!!

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the dealer still sells these

I had thought that too, checked with the two closest dealers. Neither of which has been in business long enough to remeber what a MK1 Rabbit is.. After about an hour back and fourth on the phone with beanie the brain dead parts guy I gave up on them.. 

I still have all the original sales paperwork and the business card for the salseman that originally sold my car.. Not sure if thar dealer is still in business but I thought about giving that route a try...
