    Morning, congratulations on your new purchase, and welcome.

    I had this same conversation with a chap over on Classic Audi last night. As far as I'm aware Coupe wings are dealer or TPS only and the thick end of a ton new, bit cheaper if you can get them trade price. Also for some bizarre reason brand new ones come without the holes for the side repeater pressed out. If you do go for new ones cut the hole's before you get them painted, it's caught a few on here out. Even if pattens were available they'd most likely be poo.

    Best bet is to source the best second hand ones you can find and spend a bit of time preping them, though their starting to get thin on the ground.

          The condition obviously varies a lot. They normally start to rust from the mounting points for the front bumper, due in part to poor design IMO. I've come across some really goods ones, there again I've seen a lot more shot ones.

                  why not get some glassfibre ones from german flea bay

                  lot less than a grand (400 euro IIRC)

                  probably wont be a brilliant fit but at least they will save some weight from the right end of the car and not prone to the tin worm?

                    I agree with Kit, see if you can get some rust free second hand ones.
                    you can then replace the rivnuts if they are a mess, then paint the inside of them with POR15 and spray with underseal - they will last a lifetime then
