Check in your boot for the paint code and get a touch up pencil from the dealers, it will be the right colour!

or get chips away to do them for you. surprisingly cheap (£60) and guaranteed the right colour or they'll do it again

In the boot area there should be a white sticker with a lot of letters and numbers on it.
I assume your car is black metallic, if so your paint code will be LA9V.
Go to a VW dealer parts department.

On the metal between the rear light clusters there is usually a sticker with the code. Just stick your head in and have a look.
