Best UK source for genuine panel parts?

[whatever2]

Hi


As subject-line .... I need to order a few unusual panel/chassis parts for my Q7 that had an argument with a tree, "down on the farm" here in NZ

I am already freighting a number of bulky used parts from London by air, so it would be a simple matter to throw the chassis repair parts in the same crate, and they will be a whole lot cheaper to source in the UK than from a dealer in this country

I need stuff like inner guard metalwork, rip plates for wing attachment etc

Could anyone suggest a couple of dealerships or maybe a 3rd party supplier who has a good reputation for sharp pricing on parts like this please, and I will ask around for a couple of quotes

As well as these new parts, I will still need quite a few used bits and pieces, suspension, a wing, a wheel, and brakes etc, if anybody here has broken a Q7 or Touraeg?

At the same time I am taking the opportunity to upgrade to a 2010 facelift S-line front end, and will be looking for grilles, lights etc as part of that project

Any help or advice much appreciated


Cheers

Bummer!

Do you have part numbers for the stuff you need?

You want to use TPS (trade part supplies) who are the official UK factors for VAG, have you got any mates in the trade in this country?

Hi


Yes, I have got most of the part number list together ... at least enough to get a first bunch of prices so I will know if the exercise is worthwhile, but I'm sure it will be

Prices in this country are fairly consistently TRIPLE Uk retail !!

I have a mate in London who is going to crate everything up for me, but no trade contacts, so no way to access TPS at this point

Thanks for the reply


[World's dirtiest Q7 aye! 1-owner, 4.2L, moon-roof, and being used as a Landrover on a farm! (It wasn't mine ... I just bought it in this state, but plan to get it back to its former glory and keep for myself)]

I prefer not to see the present condition it's in .....

and instead in my eyes it looks like THIS:

Speak to Will at VRS he has a big warehouse full of parts

"Q7" on his webpage and his eBay shop brings up no hits, at all

... maybe not his forte'?

access to TPS

I have emailed VRS as suggested, but I am also keen to hear from anybody who might be able to help me to access these parts through TPS, also?
