Where To Get A3 Sportback Roof Rails From?

[TomL83]

I'm thinking about getting silver roof rails for my 2011 Audi A3 sportback but where's the best and cheapest place to get them from. I'm watching some on eBay and they £675. Is this a good price? Anyone have part numbers?

These are the numbers off the eBay ones I'm watching

Ebay is the best place.
If it was me I would search through dismantling listings and ask the sellers to source some that way. £250 is the going rate for mint second hand ones. If they dont have the fittings, they cost £50 from Audi so bear that in mind.

Thanks for the advice. I will keep an eye out on eBay and gumtree.

Be careful on eBay there's lots of chinese copies being sold as genuine ones, I got stung and it was a lot of hassle to get my money back.

If they have part numbers on them then should be fine, those ones your watching are fine he sells lots of OE stuff.

Yeah good point, i almost bought some from a supplier in Nottingham. He brought a set to me as he was "in the area", it was only then i realised they were cheap fakes and politely declined them

How much do you want for them somchai? Do they come with the fittings?

Ideally I'm after silver but I could get my mate to spray them sIlver for me
