I'm in need of buying some glow plugs for my car as it's becoming difficult to start and the cars 11 years old and never been changed.

When I'm searching anywhere for glow plugs they give me the choice of 2 types from bosch.

Anyone got a link with the exact ones I need?

I would get the car scanned personally before buying new plugs.

Glow plugs only tend to actually work when temperatures are low, so this time of year they aren't really used and probably isn't the cause of your starting problems.

As above, the glow plugs really don't do anything this time of the year. If it's struggling to start check out the battery to make sure it's cranking fast enough, also the in tank pump is working correctly and priming the fuel system.

As Karl said, battery is a likely culprit. The starter motor is also a known problem on the bold engine.
My old A3 bkd became a bit slow to start. A new varta battery solved it
