hi everyone

just purchased a 2006 a4 s line cabriolet (I have been informed its a B7) in black for a weekend driver, bought the car cheap as few marks here and there.

after going over the car and checking ebay, I need to source a few bits.

1. the chrome trim surround on the front grille, has been damaged, looks like scratched with key or knife, I tried repairing with chrome foil tape , but it doesn't match up at all.
I have been advised that the grille on a s line is a different size to other a4 models, I was hoping to buy the chrome grille surround, but everyone seems to want to sell whole front end of the car. is there a parts dealer on this forum worth asking.

2. passenger side headlight top fixing bracket cracked, so headlight moves slightly , so new headlight needed


3. chrome exterior a pillar, the window seal was missing, so bought another a pillar with seal attached but its scratched, how easy is it to remove the rubber seal without damaging it, and re bonding it onto the a pillar that is already on the car?

I'm based nr leeds Bradford airport
