Default Where the heck can I buy lug nut covers online?

I have a 99' A6 Quattro Avant. The last dimwit who replaced my brake pads broke nearly every one of my lug nut covers and then glued them back on. I'm a chick, but sheesh... I'm not that reckless or stupid.

Anyway, I've been looking to buy the lug nut covers (like TWENTY) online. Everything I come up with in my Google search seems to be a dead end. Can somebody tell me where I can buy them online?

Oh, and while I'm at it I should ask about buying wiper blades online too. I'm too dang busy to go Walmart, buy the wrong ones because that's what Darrell suggested, and then have to return them again. Can't I just order them online and have someone send them to me?

BE NICE. I'm a girl. :-) My dad worked for the NHRA so I know a thing or two, but I still sometimes ask stupid questions.

Default Well maybe...

Well maybe I could look at the post directly above this that says 'GERMAN ONLINE PARTS DISCOUNT.'

Do'h. Nevermind.

Smile Check these out

Hi there:

Try this link, I bought these for my Saab , the other car besides the Audi , and they fit over 17mm nut bolts, not sure if that's what you are looking for. Here is the link:

For wiper blades, spend a little money to buy the good stuff, like Valeo Ultimate wiper blades. They are one piece design with about 150 pressure points and a built in spoiler to hold down the wipers during high speed travel. I have them on my Audi and Saab, really nice and quiet too. Bosch and Rain-X sell similiar ones but Valeo is the first manufacturer of these one piece wipers. When I first bought them, a pair cost me about $80 but now with the competitions, you get buy one get one free at www.tirerack.com for $19.95 I believe . Love them. Good luck!

I purchased an entire new set for my A8 at the local dealer, they weren't very expensive, like $1.25 ea or there abouts. There are a few different colors and depths, so make sure if you do order some online somewhere that you either order a whole set so they match, or make sure to get the same color/depth to match what you have.
