As far as I'm aware, the G40 inlet valves are the same as any other 1272cc mk3 Polo. Its only the exhaust valves that are specific in that they are sodium filled.
You may have to check on the year of the head/car because IIRC very late heads have different size valve stems. Not 100% on that, but it might be best to check when ordering.
I would have thought either ECP or GSF etc would be able to source the inlet valves? As for the exhaust valves it'd be VW only or you could try G-Werks, Gladersiete or Rennsport in Germany.
Hope this helps.
