Only 300 miles in and noticed, while washing the car, that 4 of these had fallen off, with several others loose. Annoying!

Does anyone have any recommendations/links for replacements please?

Cheers,

I noticed this morning that I was missing two from one wheel, first time this has happened in the six months I've had the car and it never happened once on the 280 I had for 2 years before. Wasn't sure if some scrote had nicked them but reading this expect they probably fell off so will check the others tomorrow.
I took a quick look on eBay, lots for sale but mainly in packs of 20, so in the hope that I won't need any more than the 2 I was missing I called my local dealer. The good news is that they were only about 70p each - I paid for mine over the phone and asked them to post them, fair play to Snows Seat (Poole), they said they would get their parts delivery chap to drop them at my house and they were there by the time I got home, can't really ask for more than that.
It's worth noting that the cap for the locking wheel nut is different to the regular one and has a unique part number - I just noticed it is 4p more as well, 78p vs 74.
 
I bought a china pack on ebay.
Does the job but can't compare to the original Audi that are shipped with the car.

Search for : "audi black lug nut cover" on ebay.

Or contact your dealership for the real deal. I won't be surprised if they are 7£ each.

I just rang Seat as I've already replace some, said they didn't know anything about it and reminded me that they are cheap to replace

I emailed customer service initially I think, had a reply from [email protected] , then they called me. My car was only about a month old at the time. They sent a replacement set to Perry's Aylesbury for me.
For them to say they don't know anything about it is ridiculous, loads of people have commented here, and on Pistonheads.

Cheeky b'stards! I would have pointed out that A. If they were made properly they wouldn't have fell off in the first place and B. If they are cheap then I'll have a dull set ta very much. What a bunch of :w4nk: Which dealer?

Star city is where I got it from to be fair they haven't said no, I just paid for them from there. It was Seat CS that said the above
