Replacement Fog Light Passenger Side Grille For A6 Quattro 2.8 Base
 
I need to replace my passenger side fog light grille which came out and will not go back tight in place.
This is on my 2000 A6 Quattro 2.8. I am the single owner of it. I bought new from the dealership and want to keep it as pristine as possible.
The part number is 4B0 807 682D
The dealer want $180.00 for the part.
I have seen a number of online places with the part for around $10.00, however further checks say their part is not compatible with the 2.8 Base C5 model.

Has anyone found a replacement part that is compatible/works/fits, is of lower price, and does not take forever to ship?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Those fog light grills can be annoying...
I have purchased numerous replacements on ebay. but the key is to use the ebay motors search with your make model and trim put in. the tool works very well, and it gets rid of the generic parts that don't really say what they fit. but just a tip, replace both. as one will look way newer and less worn than the other. and when you put the new one in, use a fender clip and drill a hole through the top edge and into the bumper cover, that way they will stay put and nobody sees it. I live in a very rural area with lots of bad gravel and dirt roads, the car drives great on them, but the fog light grills don't stay put, and since I have secured them, they only take one extra step to remove, and they haven't gone anywhere.
Just one final tip, spend a little more than 10 bucks, unless those are the only option you can find for your car. as the really really cheap ones tend to fade, but nothing a little sand and respray cant fix. (in case you can't tell I have had to replace these damn things too many times and have seen them all)
Hope this helps!
