Hi Guys,

Thanks for that.

I just popped the drivers side fog light thing off, with rather too much ease - 4E0 807 682 C

Doing an ebay search

Pair for £28 - Slight difference in the external rib around the light but if I replace both....and given there's a clip snapped on the drivers side it may be prudent. Now How bad are Chinese versions???

£49 for "an" under tray. It's aftermarket rather than genuine , but cheaper than damaged/repaired second hand ones

Wheel liners seem a little harder to find. Petrol so no intercooler vents (though one wonders if that would matter.

However Germany

for about £30 all in?

Which is why those of us with D2s tend to secure our fog-light grilles a bit more securely, considering how much they cost.

As for the Chinese versions, can't comment on the grilles, but the comments I've heard about stuff originating from there tends to run along the lines of 'not a perfect fit', 'plastics being a big hard' and 'plastics very cheap looking'.

In all honestly, anything that I've bought that has come out of China has never been 'cheap looking' or 'ill fitting'. I think it boils down to whether you want to risk the £30, and if they're cheap and nasty, you can at least let everyone here know to avoid them.

I had a D2 and yeah those fog light grills were a nightmare! The D3 ones are far more secure in normal day to day running and I recall despite cable ties my D2 ones going in a car park

I'm tempted to give the Chinese ones a go. The car has 175k and isn't a show model, but more of a work horse. It's hardly a pristine example to start with, they're low down and more conspicuous by the absence. Swapping the pair will balance out any slight style differences!
