where do you get the blank door lock cap things from and how much are they? im after drivers door one and the boot one if possible, are they easy to fit or do you need to do some modifying with wiring etc? cheers

drivers side blank is the same as the passenger one, youll need the lockless barrel replacement and the cap, these are not much
as for the lockless boot handle, its a bit more tricky, youll need one from a new car, 57/08 reg car, and grind down your existing barrel to suit the new part, gti neil did a guide to this in a post of his a while back

cheers mate, so do you just use a passenger side one and flip it over? where do you buy these parts from?

they always seemed expensive on stuff, the pd160 was cheaper from a main dealer than vagparts
