Default Smoked Rear Lenses

There has been so much talk on this forum in the past about getting new smoked rear lamp clusters made. Now, as some of you may know, Audi have suddenly 'found' some brand new units in the corner of a German cupboard.

With new single clusters going on eBay recently for up to £270, I have decided to make a 'relatively bulk' purchase from Audi toady of 10 pairs of new smoked clusters. This has been done to prevent people being fleeced by unscrupulous eBay sellers. It is not my intention to make a fortune out of this, but simply to give a few people the chance to buy them in the UK at a decent price. I am thinking this will cost a maximum of £250 per pair (probably slightly less) including (UK) delivery and VAT. I won't know for sure until I have them here along with the invoice from Audi. If you are interested, let me know......

It's a nice thing to do all the same. I doubt that you'd lose out......
I didn't sup from that trough as I already have sufficient rear lights picked up from ebay over the years....

I'm sure there will be many who are not from the forums or have missed the boat with the genuine articles.

I'd be interested in a set (or two). My 83 is begging for some smokey goodness. I am across the pond but will be visiting family & having a bit of a vacation back in Scotland next year (Aberdeen). We will also be venturing through Germany as well as England and I was planning on scooping up a set from a breaker if possible. Let me know if your interested in shipping
