Carbon Fibre?

[mark25]

Hi Guys

I have had my Jet Blue 2008 R8 for about 6 months and finally decided to start getting some carbon fibre parts. I managed to pickup some OEM carbon mirror housing on ebay for $700. Audi wanted $2000 so I think that was a good price. Anyone know where I can get some V8 or V10 style sideblades for a decent discount?

Best Regards

Great price if they really are OEM, Just had Audi install a set today and they were $2,000. OEM part numbers are 420-857-501 and 420-857-502

Thanks for your reply. The parts numbers listed are:

420 857 507
8J0 857 501 D
8J0 949 101

420 857 508
8J0 857 502 D
8J0 949 102

I am not an expert on part numbers they seem similar to the part numbers you gave above?

Trying to get hold of some sideblades now

Yup, those are OEM.

Speaking of OEM - contact Rich at OEMplus. He has a set of carbon side blades for sale right now. - see the Vendor section of the site.

Thanks for your reply. I contacted them but the Carbon blades are sold and the current price of $4300 maybe a bit steep for me atm.
