they are just large headed black pop rivets, so you'll need a rivet gun to fit them.
I think you can get them from gsfcarparts for alot less than the VW prices,

Best tip...
Buy yourself something like a Sealey Pop-rivet gun kit. You'll get the rivet gun and a selection of rivets that;ll be perfect for the task...
Should cost no more than £14 all in...
Then get a black marker pen and cover over the heads once you're finished

well my GT has been modified so that my arch trims screw to the wings so I can remove them to check for rust etc
