All I'm saying is, without a little "breakage" here and there we wouldn't learn anything about our cars...JB Weld or no ;D
Are there certain sellers on ebay that you deal with? Whenever I search for parts and whatnot on ebay, there always places from china, with usually bad reviews about how poor the quality is. Like wheel center caps are about $30 each, but I've seem them aftermarket on ebay for $2. What gives? Do you recommend any sellers?

theres a seller get_audi_parts he is a member here and on audizine he posts part out ads on the forums or u can view his online store. good prices and all real parts. u just need to know what to search and what to look for when using ebay, u can get some good quality stuff or like you said crap from china which is usually good to stay away from

Cool, thanks. I'll have to check out his store!

The searches are always so bombarded with Chinese made crap, so maybe I'll just have to look harder.

i actually bought my entire S4 Center console, steering wheel and airbag all off ebay. and most of the parts for my manual swap i got off there.

Second haha.

pullacowonaski if you want to fix your cupholder, I'm sure you can get a replacement, maybe from one of the ebay salvage companies or try shokan. You can probably get one for a good price, and you can decided what you want to do with the trim, if the clips break or it cracks. Replace it, jbweld, either way.
