Quick search of Wolfsburg West under tail light got me to the below link.

I've not purchased these myself, but other stuff from WW has been great

Both Westcoast metric and Wolfsburg West are great places to get what you need.

If you are talking about the fender beading, don't skimp and buy the cheap brazilian garbage. It's satin with ridges in it from molding, the holes don't line up with the body and the material is stiff. Buy from Wolfsburg West, the beading is nice and glossy and soft.
