B8 eBay/kijiji deals thread

[cory_can]

I'm not sure if this is technically allowed according to AZ rules (it will get pulled "efficiently" if it isn't) but I thought it would be helpful to post links to eBay, kijiji or similar sites that have auctions/ads of B8 related "stuff" for sale.
I'm not looking for this to directly infringe on AZ advertisers but merely have a central place to post deals on odd parts people come across. There's always people looking for used sport seats, enhanced modules or random trim....if you come across something interesting for our model...post it up.

** Buyer Beware. Perform the appropriate due diligence and purchase items at your own risk. **

Anyone looking to finish off their Votex kit or just want to add a little detail to the rear-end?.....good deal on Votex rear bumper skirt from UK and shipping WW.

Not sure if this will flourish or not, but I don't see why it would violate the rules. Only thing I can think of though is a clear disclaimer that eBay items are not always 100% authentic or a perfect fit

Great idea cory, I agree lots of random B8 stuff floating around for people to swipe up if needed. Thanks for sharing.

[brainpan]

Good call Cory, sometimes you can come across some cool eBay merch that may not be good for yourself but others could use.

[hender]

good idea!
hell, if anything...people will post their lessons learned / horror stories which would be GOOD for the official sponsors' business...lulz

Anthony gave his stamp of approval, as long as the thread remains specific to auction type deals and not outside shops who are not forum sponsors.

Aaand we're back!

great idea. i am kinda interested in those rear sides. might go well with my sideblade/front lip

I bought a set and they're currently in transit. They were cheap enough to experiment. Here is what they will look like in combination with S-Line stone guards (or whatever they're called )

[Calbee]

that actually looks great. only problem is that i only have the stock exhaust/valence (will change later). i might go ahead and order it though just because of the price. seems to look good with all the other parts

will scrape like an mfer though.....

btw cory, isnt that the last one? for 70$ you cant really go wrong.. really tempted!

Yes, they had two and I purchased one set. BTW, the seller was very quick to respond to questions and they shipped it out immediately. It hasn't come yet so the shape of them is still in question but I expect everything will be fine. Once I get them I'll decide on if I proceed with paint/mounting.

Thanks for reopening this Blake...I expected some 'minor' contention with this subject but I'm glad it could reactivated. Hopefully it gets used.

[Dasquade]

Thumbs up here to the admins for allowing it! Like others i agree it can be very handy especially for those rarely and hard to find items, often at a very good price.
I spend a good year searching ebay from time to time to find a set of B&O motorized tweeters, but one day i had them :) .

[Anthony]

Hopefully it gets used.

We hope so too. It would be a nice way to keep the other random eBay threads confined into one clean thread.

But, what the hell is kijiji and does anyone really use it? That name/word sure makes the thread title look wonky.

[MiracleWhips]

Anyone recognize the rear valence above?

I recognize this avant from years back, I think.

Caratere. Yes, it is/was an AZ member car.

I didn't realize kijiji wasn't very popular in the US. In Canada and most of the world it's still called kijiji....in the US it's 'eBay Classifieds'. You can change the title to Craigslist if you want....same difference :)

[MiracleWhips]

That's right, and S-Line to boot.

Ok, moving on......

Nope, not SLine.

Yeah, never heard of it. Craigslist is definitely popular here though.

I know I am going to regret this but bookmarked...it is a great idea and maybe venders will post some auctions also on here...I told myself I would do nothing to this one...but already thinking about s-line sides

The package came today....extremely quick considering it was coming from the UK. They're brand new and included all the instructions etc.

I did a test fit this morning and like how they look. It gives the ass-end some nice extra width from the rear and brings the overall side profile down slightly..... (increases the "W-I-D-E & low" factor ) It should also help protect the rear bumper from dirt getting kicked up from the wheels. If I get a chance I'll drop them by the paint shop later today.

[tenfour]

Wow. That was extremely fast! Can't wait for some pics!

thanks for reassuring. im still deciding if i want this. it will def look good with the lip/sideblade but im not sure if i am going to keep this lip. kinda feel like a black one (stvbek/relak) is more for me

Btw- how long did it take to get to you and would 3 M hold it up enough?

[jacksat]

Any one intrested in a rieger frontspoiler with the carbon lip?
Here is a auction i found in the UK.
Don't know how much for shipping.

Is your side sill straight? The end nearest to your rear door looks slightly higher than the middle/front.

Btw- how long did it take to get to you and would 3 M hold it up enough?

Purchased it Evening of Jan31 GMT, it was shipped morning of Feb 1st GMT and it arrived at my house Feb 6th with Feb4-5 being a weekend! I'm still debating between using 3M tape or Epoxy. My side sills were installed using epoxy (and have held up very well) but the installer for these is suggesting 3M trim tape.

BTW, get some quotes for paint/install. I went to two different shops (of the same well known chain) and one quoted me $240 and the other $120.

[Calbee]

I know the auction has ended, but do these fit OEM S-line bumpers for the B8 A4? I personally think that part of the bumper on the B8 looks "fat" (non-ph fat) or sluggish, and those Votex seem to make all the difference. I have a 2011 s-line B8 A4 and just wanted to make sure they make them for my model.

Any idea on where else to get them? Or are they pricey that it's worth the wait to pop up again on eBay?

[Blake P]

Votex is only for non-S bumpers, AFAIK.
