cheapest parts order ever for an '8?!
Fixed a niggling bodge by a previous repairer on my car yesterday - imagine sticking the fuse board cover in without screwing it down, the lazy sods!!
4 new screws totalling 58p - don't think it's possible to do anything cheaper on an '8 (that isn't free!) unless you needed less than 4 of these screws lol I did look up the price of a new panel as the old one has signs of water damage on the bottom edge and has swelled in 1 corner, but at 75 quid (that's more like it Audi, keep it up!) I think I'll chop a piece of marine ply I used as a dining table extension years ago to shape and use that. Sorry for the poor image, but have I got this positioned right in relation to the black insulation stuff above, which I assumed was intended to sit over the panel rather than trying to push it back out of the way?  Anyone managed to find a cheaper part for the '8?! Adrian
