Any other places I could be looking for Second Hand Audi parts?

[fran-s3]

Hey guys,

So frustrating when you can't find the parts you need. Have been searching Ebay, and scrappies for 2 weeks for a facelift passenger side headlight unit. Found 2 but in appalling condition - worse than mine with rust inside the lense.

Any other places I could try does anyone know? Seen a set and asked the seller if they'd split on Ebay but no reply after 2 days

There's so many new s3 8P parts available it's crazy - obviously the older stuff is harder to source...

Only thing I can think of is trying something in germany or the states.

OOO there is a S3 breaking in the parts section. any good?

 

[fran-s3]

Good shout will pop over to Germany (on Ebay!)

Yeah it's pre-facelift which is a shame as I need a face light one but thanks anyway that could of been a result.

Gumtree sometimes has some good stuff!

Is that a member or a company mate?

 

[MURRAYS444]

Its a site with general ads mate

Just type Audi and your location and it should come up with Audi, it will range from cars to some parts its a bit of a hit or miss but it can be good for wheels and tyres!

 

[Jason.s]

Gumtree is good. Some right gems can be found there as not many people know about it. Got my 4ft fishtank for free on there

 

[fran-s3]

Awesome thanks guys.

You could always try TPS, they are pretty good. As said above Ebay Germany is ace, got loads from there.

Found one: AUDI S3 PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT HEADLAMP (2002) | eBay BUT the lens is scratched to bits

Even though they're breaking 5 S3's according to the title that's the only passenger light they have. The search continues >>>>>>>>

 

[Jason.s]

If it was cheap you could maybe polish out a few of the scratches and make do until you found a mint one then sell that one on

 

[fran-s3]

True I'll keep an eye on it - anyone know if the lenses can be easily swapped as my original lens is in good condition.
