Joy...you have fibergla$$ bumpers. (not a typo)

3 words- fix- it- yourself
or open your wallet ..

yes you can replace the endcaps..   (fiberglass bumper endcaps are almost
$300 new EACH from vw (the only source), and nobody makes them aftermarket - the
reason no new parts vendors carry them)
or i can fix yours..(send me a pic of the damage)
or, you can fix them yourself with fiberglass resin and matting..

i do have a bunch of fiberglass bumpers and bodykit pieces, but im all out of
spare single RR bumper endcaps (the RR gets damaged more than the LR)  i have
some LR, rear centers, sideskirts, fronts, whole bodykits, etc..etc..
