You can probably match the color with some SEM brand vinyl dye that is available in spray cans. Just clean the part well and consider using an adhesion promoter, also available from SEM. The stuff works exceptionally well.

Manufacturers are supposed to supply parts for 10 years, but since the replacements will function despite color differences, that probably covers them.

I have experience with VW discontinuing essential parts well before 10 years by claiming that the parts were "sub-assemblies" and that entire assemblies were still available and would fix the problem. When a $7 air flap in the heater of a Jetta broke (all plastic part), VW said that the flaps were no longer available, but that since an entire heater box (with new flaps) was still available (at $1100+), they met the letter of the law.
