GTI bits & bobs - best place to get them from?

I have put together a shopping list for the GTI over the last couple of days most of which are service items.

Some parts on the car really are looking tatty and I really should do something about it.
I'm sure alot of these bits will have to come direct from Volkswagen but if anybody can point me in the right direction as to where I can get some of the items cheaper it would be appreciated :)

Service Bits - Engine
Oil - 5 litres Quantum Synta Silver Oil 10W40 - Should I get this from VW or is it cheaper elsewhere?
Oil Filter (030 115 561 AN) - VW jobby or TPS/GSF?
Pollen Filter - I have never replaced mine so this is a Must!
HT Leads - Full Set- VW jobby?

Interior Bits
GTI Black Mats (Full set of 4) - eBay or VW?
Bora sunglasses holder (1J0 857 465) - VW or elsewhere?
GTi gear gaitor (6X0 711 118 H GRX) - This is for the TDI btw - VW or elsewhere?

Exterior Bits
Polo 9n3 / Passat Rear Aero wiper arm (6Q6 955 707 A) - VW or elsewhere?
Aerial Base Repair Kit (1HO 051 753) - VW or elsewhere?
Mudflaps Set of 4 - VW or elsewhere?

Any help would be appreciated guys & girls :)

Cheers

Ben

This is probably a given but.... Dont go Frauds!! Lol
I just got a long list of service parts from VW. For the parts that frauds attually stocked it worked out cheaper by a good £20 to go to VW :D

TPS for all of it Ben

Remember, TPS is VWs trade outlet, therefore everything is always cheaper from them. Service parts are up to 80% less

Alex do you have to be a trade buyer to get from TPS?

Will TPS allow me to order the parts direct? It states on their website that they only supply to local garages etc and not the general public.

My nearest TPS is in Chester but can I actually purchase the parts through them or do I need to source them from an independent garage?
