    So, i need the screws labeled as 4 in this picture. they are T25 screws and VW said they are 5x16mm but only have 12 they can sell me :/. Was wondering is anyone knew where i can get a bunch of these considering local hardware stores do not have them.

    They're M5x16? And black.

    Seems like 5mm in diameter is pretty fat, but if that's what they are...

    You could order from a vendor like this (doesn't say what size torx, but it shouldn't matter much...but they only show 9 in stock):

    But VW should be able to order them, even if they don't have them in stock.

    While waiting for them, I'd temporarily install any black M5x16 screws that my local hardware store did carry, no matter what kind of head (phillips, etc.). They're not going to be visible.

    Thanks for the input!! but yeah thats what VW said all of the screw for the fenders and underside of the bumper they said were m5x16 and only had twelve. and i concur about the heads being different as to visibility.

    The dealer can order as many as you want.
