they just pop off
i accidently reversed and cought mine on a tree, it smashed the mirror glass (which cost 25% to replace from vag) and popped off the cover, it went flying, i just popped it back on, i suggest you pop it off, rub it down (as its textured), primer, then spray it yourself
you can get spray cans of vag paint for a bout a tenner from vw, dont foget a can of laquer for a top coat so it matches the rest of the car though. should be able to do the job for £20 and a couple of hours
i'm doing mine after ive sprayed up my bump strips
