I just spotted that I'm missing a cover on one wheel one week after collecting the car. Are these trim specific parts?
The car is a Leon black edition, 2025.
I assume these are just plastic covers? If so it might cost me less to replace than the fuel to go back to the dealer.
This looks similar Amazon
How can I find the correct part number?

I find they tend to become dislodged if you get too close with the pressure washer, the pressure builds up behind them and forces them away from the top of the wheel bolt.

you can get them from Cox motor parts (site sponsor) here:

If you're looking to buy just one, not a 5-piece set, note that you're missing the one on the locking nut.
Its cover has a circle shape inside, not hexagon like others.
The covers for normal ones and the locking one are not interchangeable.

Maybe remove the same type, ie from another locking wheel bolt on another wheel, and looking inside it and you should find the part number, either buy online or via a SEAT or Audi dealership.

I'd suggest buying 2 of the locking bolt type caps and maybe 2 of the normal bolt type - to keep as spares.

Edit:- one thing maybe to watch out for is, while all/any sets for sale will fit, the colour/texture of them might not be the same as your ones unless you use the complete part number that is on your ones.

Another Edit:- so for your car security (locking) wheel bolt cover p/n = 4M0 601 173 C 9B9 (Satin Black)

For the normal wheel bolt covers p/n = 4M0 601 173 E 9B9 (Satin Black)

Edited to change "VW Group dealership" to "SEAT or Audi dealership".

Thanks RUM4MO. I haven't lost any 'yet' but one covering one of the locking bolts has dropped off a couple of times when washing the car (luckily i have seen it both times) Ill make a note of the numbers and get some spares.
 
These VW Group caps do have a nasty habit of randomly falling off; just have a look at Golf/Leons/A3s etc advertised on line and see how many have caps missing.
Bizarrely ours lasted 5 years without a problem and then in the space of a couple of months most off them had disappeared.
In my case it wasn't a jet wash issue either. :shrug:

I lost a couple of caps from the locking wheel bolts on a previous VW. The caps on the normal (non-locking) bolts were a tight fit but not the ones on the locking bolts (they had a different internal profile to fit over the locking bolt), so I stuck some tape around the inside of those caps to remove any free play / looseness; they never moved or worked loose after that and only came off if I physically removed them.
