Also have a look at mister-auto.
My original parts were TRW, so I bought TRW from mister-auto, when they came they were genuine VW/Audi but with the logo ground off.

thanks guys...

Originally I was planning to bought the stuff of Mister Auto and either go with Lemforder or TRW which I suppose cannot go 'wrong' quality wise.

What do you think of Febi Bilstein as some of their rods/control arms are 10-15% cheaper which would save us some money that can go towards labour cost. e.g. any good?

Try allgermanparts.co.uk but don't bother trying to use their web site as it looks like it's being rebuilt. They're pretty good by phone/e-mail.

Worth asking for prices on Meyle HD stuff and comparing to the best prices you can get from TPS for OEM parts.

Can't you just use this..?

http://www.partscats.info/audi/en/?i=cat_vag_models

Is there some reason to download and mess with emulators? Can you put in a VIN then?

You can - that's based on Etka page dumps, but not sure how often it's updated?

I've used Etka offline for years and find it useful - especially as I have the updated price files so always know in advance whether a quoted price is a decent discount or not.

cheers guys.

I know that TPS only does B2B and was wondering how could I get in touch with them for quotes as i'm a 'C' customer... or is there anything we could do through A8Parts?

TPS will deal with anyone generally - if there's one local just pop in with the car and give them the reg and they'll give you prices. My local one is extremely helpful

I use Murrays at Hatfield, it's all OEM and way cheaper than Audi or TPS, their service is excellent as well
