Belly Pan
I lost my Belly pan over the weekend on my 1998 A8. It was damaged enought that I have concerns putting it back on the car. Is there anywhere you can get one besides the stealer. They want about $275 for the part. Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: how did you lose it?
Not sure it came off when driving. I believe that the fastners on one side near the passanger wheel well came lose and the whelll pulled it off. It is now damaged on the passanger side and I am concerned that the remaining fastners will not hold it on.

Replacement fasteners are not expensive
even from the stealer. I bought a bunch of them so now I have a couple of spares.
I see that blauparts.com sells a kit of hardware. I think ecstuning does too.
Or are you saying that the fastener holes in the old pan are destroyed and unusable? In which case, I second the advice for zip ties.
I doubt that you'll find a used pan in a boneyard - according to the dealership, they actually stock the belly pan because it gets lost so frequently.

Re: Replacement fasteners are not expensive
The old pan is broken on the passengers side. The part that clips into the wheel well is gone. I should be able to put 8 of the 10 fastners. Is it worth getting the fastener kit or will there be a lot of wind noise?
