Headlight Lens Replacement?

My driver side headlight has a small crack in the top edge, you cant see it when the bonnet is shut but its letting in a small amount of water and causing the light to fog up.
Does anyone know if its possible to replace the clear lens?

Re: Aluminium Trim Issues

Yes, a friend has just bought an '07 avant with silver trim, and has the same problem with the window trims, he is a very experienced panel beater and painter and has tried everything to polish the tarnishing out but with no effect, he has ended up buying a full set of trims, I think he said they we...

Re: MOT Fail: Leaking shock absorber

Just had my '07 avant MOT'd at Macclesfield Audi, It passed but they gave me an advisory for "misting" on the front left shock, when I went to collect the car they offered to book it in for this friday for a replacement shock free of charge, no questions asked! It really is poor that there is no con...

RE: Re: RE: Re: Daytona Avant with rear tints?

I've just put a photo of my daytona avant in the "my garage" section of my profile, hopefully you can have a look, its got factory "privacy glass" the pics were taken in bright sun so the tints look quite light, but in more overcast light they are very dark.
Hope this helps.

Had a call from the dealer this morning to say that the car had arrived if I was interested in having a look/drive!! I went straight round (its only 5 mins from where I live) They hadn't even valeted it yet which was fine as it meant the car was as it was from the previous owner. Over all the car is...

Thanks for the info, having had a good read over some old posts it looks like the issue over leaking shocks has been fairly common, I'll have a good check of the struts, its got around 20k on the clock so I'm guessing it may be time for new front brakes, Whats the going rate for a new set of front d...

You are right about taking my time, I've asked the salesman to call me as soon as it arrives so that I can have a look at it before it is valeted/polished etc.
