Cheers Andy. Where can I source one? Ebay have a few but they're not in the best shape.No, I'm afraid it is all one piece. - Andy

Hi Andy,eBay is an option but can be expensive and as to condition any A2 is at least 14 years, or a bit more, and it likely any that come on the market will have imperfections to some degree. A better option than eBay is the Marketplace on here but as said they will be used but at least not broken, depends what level of condition is acceptable to you.
You have several options.
1. Repair the one you have (the colour will match!), fibre glass repair, fill and spray black part. Tucked away low down it should be indistinguishable and if the rest of the bumper is in good nick worth doing. I wonder if the crack is down to lack of engine undertray? (that is needed to support the bumper)
2. Buy a replacement.
(a) same colour and acceptable condition. You have not said what colour, nor is it contained in your registration details (not updated). Put an ad in the Wanted section of Marketplace.
(b) different colour and respray, but difficult to get a match with the rest of the car.
In both cases shipping is difficult and not cheap with such a large size and collection may be uneconomic if not local.

More than likely Silver Sea (or other names), LY7W, (check) which is good as they are by far the commonest.Hi Andy,
Appreciate the info.
The undertray is present and also has a slight split. The whole thing has been bodged along the way somewhere. Quite sad to see
It’s a silver AUDI A2. Registration A2FUW
I’ll definitely put an advert in the wanted section.
Cheers

I just bought a new one from TPS for under £50. Pop to a friendly local garage and ask them to fit and check for any other damage underneath.My under tray problem was caused by a scary event, yesterday (22 May) I was driving in heavy rain to a hospital appointment in Shrewsbury. In a very heavy downpour my wipers just stopped working, Barely able to see, I mounted the first drop in the kerb I saw to reduce my heart rate, the crunch I heard sounded ominous, .in a break in the rain I saw chunks of black plastic on the ground and hanging underneath, this i believe is the remnants of my under tray. I have been reading this thread and I need a replacement, my mechanical qualifications involve a phone call and a pathetic cry for help, as I am physically unable to crawl under my car to check or fix it, can anyone advise me if I can still safely drive with the the broken tray, (I have two appointments and a minor operation next week), and where to get a replacement ( the German site is out of stock). I hope I am not pushing my luck here, you guys have been a great help with another problem I had. A gentle turn and a push in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.

In theory Yes, depends on the damage; if there are bits hanging down/off there could be a problem but it is fixed in 10 or so positions, so it should be reasonably secureMy under tray problem was caused by a scary event, yesterday (22 May) I was driving in heavy rain to a hospital appointment in Shrewsbury.
