Default Wanted - D2 passenger side quarter panel

Or to be more specific, a part of a quarter panel to make up a repair patch. Does anyone have a shell, or know of anyone with a shell and an angle grinder!?

Do you mean the rear, if so that is a huge panel?

My original S8 had to have the drivers side rear quarter panel replaced and it was a massive and very expensive job!

Yea, it's the rear. My good lady decided to scrape along a fence and it's become a bit deformed around the door and wheel arch.

The bodyshop reckon they can pull and straighten the dent, but they want a repair panel ready "just in case".

Luckily the damage is all superficial.

In other news my anger has subsided and now the jokes about her driving have begun.

Have you tried our sponsors? I'm sure they'll be amenable to cutting the chunk you need out of the next one they break

I've got a parts car which I will be breaking, but not immediately unfortunately.

Yea, dropped an email with the details of what I needed, they don't have it. Not sure if someone there is just checking up a computer database though rather than looking in a yard for a shell?

Anyone on here we can poke to see if there is a shell and an angle grinder handy!?

The shells don't stay for long - if there isn't one in the workshop being dismantled at the moment then there isn't one at all. A8Parts is not like your run of the mill boneyard with a yard full of scrap - everything is carefully disassembled, the parts catalogued, and put on a shelf

Have you tried ebay? Someone here breaking two: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-A8-D...YAAOSw5VtaBsVR

Are the shells identical across the D2's?

Looked at that guy's fleabay, looks the same colour so might get a few other bits, just worried because the side I need bits from is against the fence in those photos so he might be a bit awkward about getting to it.

There are minor variations in studs and holes etc depending on equipment levels, and obviously in the bolt-on panels between pre and post facelift, but the exterior sheet metal is all the same afaik.

Mr Blobby is not yet crushed (D2, 2.8 see picture) but is about to go into the crusher in the next few days. Its in Dunbartonshire - where are you? I have an angle grinder and an assistant (BrianG) so we could remove a panel if you wanted. I would need to check the state of the quarter panel as the car has been lifted onto a pile of others
