Caps are cheap off Ebay.
Fitted these to my R, cost me $41 delivered .... perfect fit and looks good close up. You can go more expensive if you wanted, though I'd doubt it would look any better.

Pre (ugly silver plastic caps)
In fact I stood next to R Wolfsburg today and the caps are identical (now)

Not a problem. I’ve seen many people have problems with cheaper carbon fiber caps where the fibers separate from the top clear coat layer. It seems to be due to exposure to sunlight definitely not something you want. I might just go for the gloss black OEM ones on my white silver metallic mk7.5 R
