Default Hit a raccoon! Need some new parts.

Driving at night... twisty mountain road... BIG raccoon. Smash, bump.
Any good place to buy a new fog light grill and fog light?
I found a grill on E-bay but am a little skeptical of the quality. Should I just go to the dealer or is there an online place to look?

Default Avoid anything direct from China, or Hong Kong. There are lots of Chinese body parts on Ebay.

I can testify, their fit is awful, almost comically bad, like a child made them in a hurry.

Default Goto genuineaudiparts.com; I just got a lower grille from them

prices are about 15% off MSRP and they are genuine audi made in Germany parts. Quick shipment and great service. Definetely recommend them.

Perfect. Thanks for the site. I noticed on Ebay they are coming from Hong Kong. The quality was the worry. Thanks for the info guys.
