charlie61 Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 My next door neighbour has reversed into my 8 he did the decent thing and owned up to it but it was dark at the time so I didn't spot any damage, next day I saw a small mark on the bumper which I can live with as it's 9 years old so I don't expect it to be perfect. However looking at it this morning the OS rear light lens is cracked, to be honest I don't know if it was him or not as it's been a week and seems a bit high for a saloon car to damage it, more likely to be a 4x4 or a shopping trolley Any idea where I can pick up a cheap replacement as I don't fancy being by Audi for a piece of red plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnifa1 Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Before you buy a used one for about £20, get a quote from Audi, I just bought the R/H inner light unit (the one with the lock in) and it was only about £39!!! (with 10% discount) I was amazed, apparantly, the rear lights are one of the few parts we don't get ripped off with. For comparison Euro car parts wanted £44!!! as I'd called them assuming Audi would want £££'s for one... Don't forget to ask for discount, you'll get 8 to 10% for your cheek!!

charlie61 Posted February 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Thanks for the info, i'll try audi 1st then allaudi, we're comparing bumper heights at the weekend it may end up costing me nothing as I hadn't realised how high the bumpers are on an Alfa 146 so my neighbour may have broken it. He's being Ok about it though, he's not having a lot of luck ATm his Jaguar has been in the garage for 3 months being repaired after he rear ended a Nova at a roundabout.

Poor chap. 3 months is a bit strong for a big car like a Jag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie61 Posted February 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 That'd be great thanks, it's the OS outer part the one that fits around the rear wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] He had a load of grief from the insurance company over whether they were going to write it off, took them 6 weeks to make up their mind, it's £2000 for a bonnet, he's had a courtesy car all that time, I cheered him up though when I pointed out how much £££ he's saved on fuel.
