Sa ppl- where to buy oem parts other than solitaire?

[maiky]

Hey guys ,

Planning to do some DIY on the audi during some time off. Where do you guys get your oem parts??? is there anywhere besides solitaire?? If online which sites are good with good shipping rates unlike ECS tuning.

All online from overseas. ECS and 034 Motosport are good and much cheaper if you're ordering a bunch of stuff otherwise postage and the part can sometimes add up to Solitaire prices. Sometimes you can find genuine parts on ebay that are pretty cheap as well.

I've just used allgerman from the UK. Depends what you are after. They have a website and were evenly priced with ECS for most stuff I needed and no VAT. Postage was a little better than ECS. Now that the $ is in the dumps, the UK is a much more attractive source if you look carefully. I've had good service from ECS (freight algorithm is dicky) and Parts4euros too. Ringer racing get a good wrap too.

Thanks for the reply guys.... yeah ESC has good range of stuff but they postage cost for one bolt is the same as say control arm set which is a joke. Im after control arms and been on europaparts.com which seem not bad but pitty the AUD is rubbish ATM.
