Thanks

I think you'll either have to pay the price from Audi (like I did a while ago) or be very patient and dilligent in scanning the 'breaking' ads on ebay.

But once you have them on, invest a few pennies on a couple of long black cable ties. They can be easily attached without drilling and give a degree of security against loss and theft.

Im still trying to understand what is so special about these parts for the D2 bar the fact they fall off easily and are therefor rare. The same part for all other models are coming in betweem £10-40 yet they are £105 for the D2.

I thought it was a random selling them at that price but its A8parts, i thought they were supposed to be doing us D2 owners a service?? That is a rip off and a bloody cheek if you ask me!

Who is the A8Parts ebay page owner?

They are over £100 new from Audi, since the part is discontinued. its why they are missing from my old D2 and why I had my last remaining one stolen from the car in London. The D3 ones are cheaper because they are readily available. Getting new parts for a car that went out of production more than 10 years ago is getting difficult. Supply and demand dictate price sadly.

But both the D2 PF & D3 are very cheap compared to the D2 FL. I heard (although i havnt checked myself) you can get them for £60-80 new from Audi so pricing them at £105 on ebay seems daft & down right greedy

Go buy a jobload then, you can resell them for a profit

I think when buying anything from a scrap yard you have to do your homework. It has been noted before in a post that a part in question was cheaper from the main dealer however they don't advertise that the parts are cheaper than main dealer (or i've not seen it if they have) the majority of parts are considerably cheaper that dealer, in stock and the right colour, with a 24 hour dispatch.

I like a bargain and i've boaught from them but like i said you have to shop with your head.

They are from Yorkshire

There's obviously a market for them....... Dezzy goes to think about how he can make these

Someone with a 3D printer might be able to turn a small profit.....
