Kaz's A4 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Hi everyone, I hope you can help. I have recently bought my Audi and it is in need of some TCL so I am on the hunt for a passenger wing and door if possible in colour LZ5L. If anyone can help I would be very grateful. 馃榿 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnet Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Hello Karen, A couple of possible pointers for you (apologies if you have already been there):- Try registering your 'wants' with the secondhand car parts search companies with which scrap yards, nationally, link into . Any holding the parts you want will then contact you. One is Partsgateway or Partsfinder (聽or similar) I think, but you will find more on a search. Tried good old E.Bay?聽 I think you will have to expand your search to聽the correct panels in any colour. Obtaining the correct colour is likely to be very much of a long shot, and even if you do, you will inevitably find the panels will have storage marks and will need to be refinished anyway. Good luck and kind regsrds, Gareth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just in negotiations with another chap who is selling his car which is for spares or repairs so hopefully this will solve my problem and I will gain so more parts 馃榿. Really appreciate all the help. Thanks Karen 馃榿 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnet Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Hello Karen, I think there is a danger of over complicating this. If you are buying secondhand, then I cannot really see a great advantage in part numbers for panels. Simply take photos of the parts聽on the聽聽good side and ask potential sellers to e-mail exchange photos with you for what they have.聽 If you really do want to have the part numbers then I would be ringing an Audi dealer,armed with the registration and VIN numbers,聽and asking for prices聽and part numbers. Kind regards, Gareth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
