Devastating loss

[QuattroBird]

Indeed it is the case that Tradition will only sell to business outside Germany now and individuals in Germany only (nice global approach).
However you need to get your local Audi dealer to purchase the parts from Tradition via the Audi Intranet, their internal system.
I have purchased several orders in the past few months from mine. They charge me approx straight Euro to Sterling exchange plus VaT and £20 delivery to the dealer for collection.

This is what Tradition replies to me. I past it to my dealer and they found it and got it sorted to buy from them

The technical malfunction in our Audi Tradition Online Shop in relation to the credit card payment applies only to our foreign
private customers.

Every Audi dealer has an own access to Audi Tradition, the
dealer portal. On the homepage he will find "Audi E-Shops" - the link to our online shop. He now is automatically logged in with
his dealer information and he can easily order the requested parts for you.
If he is not eligible to order yet, the administrator has to activate his account accordingly.

We apologize for any inconvenience with our Tradition Online Shop.

Unfortunately it didn't make sense throwing a load of money at it - I ended up getting a little runabout for the time being - Audi A6 Avant 3.2L V6 FSI S-Line quattro.....

You cant, you could just repaint them and hope for the best but the strength they once had wont now be present, and since the cars been declared a write off itll never have the worth it did pre fire.
My ur's cost me absolutely thousands and its still not finished, partly due to me being a lazy bugger and changing the spec but quite a lot due to parts availability and costs, if you want to go there and genuinely re-comission the car then ill wish you all the best with it, if youre just out for a quick profit then youre in the wrong place.
Strip it for useful parts and get your money back that way id say.

I would probably get another A80, A90 or Coupe for parts only car with straight front end, drill off necessary parts of it (fr. quarter, chassis, firewall and weld it on this UR. It would be safe and saved UR Quattro then.

Yeah definitely one way of doing it, dont think id want to to have to source all the other bits tho, probably very very hard to find nowadays maybe even impossible.
