It looks like I'm going to have to order it from Russia of all places...have sent some e-mails out so stay tuned. Silly that plastic pieces can't be ordered from US dealers. I had the same issue getting the same part for my e46 M3.

On a quick search, 4e0807285aa1rr might not have the holes for parking sensors. At least we have you headed in the right direction.

Chris I think the BA is the one for parking sensors--I will hopefully be able to order and then confirm so that the next person searching can find it easy with the search function on the board -- stay tuned!

As an aside, Todd at Jim Ellis Audi was really helpful in poking around and helping with suggestions even though he couldn't order one for me. If you guys are looking for OEM parts, give him a try as he seems to actually care about being helpful -- toddf@jimellis.com

(FYI this is the parts listing mentioned in the sticky and is great for tracking #'s down for non-North America parts variants).
Looks quite simple here.

Default Non U.S. parts

Besides scrubbing eBay.co.uk and eBay.de, I have bought a couple of things from Irish dealers. Obviously easy language wise. Closer in to U.S. so shipping a little less. Shipping affects it a lot, and I have found the ones that can either use the Post or sometimes DHL get it to me for rational pricing.

No, U.S. dealers can't get non-U.S. parts. Some want to. ECS sometimes has a few and seems to have a non-U.S. dealer supply for them.

Just pinged ECS and they cannot order that part--we'll see what happens. Being Irish by heritage I'll ping some of the Irish Audi dealers and see what I can find

I got the part from OEMPlus last year on the invoice the following is listed.

Products
------------------------------------------------------
1 x Front Plate - European Holder (4E0807285AA1QP) = $145.00
Color 1QP - Grey
PDC (Park Sensors) Yes

I'm still debating as my state is one of those states that require a front plate. Although I have been getting plenty speeding tickets I have yet to receive one for the front plate missing.
