Default Where to buy Audi parts?

Somebody backed up in to the front of me and they cracked the aluminum looking trim around the grill. I guess it could have been a LOT worse and they could have hit metal. Anyways, I'm looking to replace this trim. Do I have to buy this part through the dealer or can I buy it online? Also, it looks like an easy do-it-yourself job. Is it? Thanks...

That's the piece. Unfortunetly, I don't know who did it. I noticed it today while detailing the car.

Default ECS tuning sells them, and you can install yourself.

however, installation involves removing the front bumper cover, so I wouldn't necessarily call it 'easy'.

Default Unfortunately, not that easy to do. You have to remove the entire front fascia.....

It's not difficult per se, just time consuming to get all the bolts off and on again properly. Also, some of the bolts are a little hard to get to without the proper tools. you'll need jack stands at a minimum to do the bottom hardware as you will have to remove the front plastic undershroud.

My dealer has always been fair on price. You might give your local guys a shot too.
