 a) Are there black ones available?
 b) What exactly are they made of?....plastic or rubber??
 c) How exactly do they attach?
 d) Where can we see a picture/ read a description of them?

they're prolly ABS plastic since they're white..???
PAINT THEM....

the black rubber 2 piece ones are available from European VW dealers for more
than what you prolly paid for your whole van...

Helmut Ziedler is just a helpful German listmember who is only doing this as
a courtesy to us US listmembers who like to have hard to find overpriced
goofy european accessories on our VW vans..  :<)
.......so we can go to a VW meet and have everybody say "kew-el lips ,
dude...where'dya get em?? "  heh..heh..not tellin'....  :<)

Anyway, as far as Helmut's honesty, there's no question there...
how many of you would organize a whole group purchase like this without
making a red cent??
