ok cool, i am picking the car up in a couple of hours, I will ask how bad they are, if they need doing soonish I'll give you a shout mate. i did message matey who was selling a refurb one on here but it has prob gone by now. on a lighter note, the spacers have been fitted so I am looking forward to seeing what they look like :)

£900 is clearly a big old discount from the fitted price at Audi but it's still a huge chunk of cash for what is a relatively cheap set of parts on the aftermarket shopping list.

From my initial investigations, I was able to roughly price up a standard, similar sized (not smaller) oil cooler and adapted pipes (to keep the fitment to the engine) for about £200!
I probed about a possible 'made to fit' option so all the correct bracketry were in place and that wouldn't have been a great deal more, if I were able to get a few together to make it worthwhile for them.
