At Last Just Got My First A8 4.2Q!

Hi guys, just got my 1st A8 and loving it. It's a 1997 4.2Q metallic green sports suspension and seats, 18" wheels etc imported from England to Australia in last few weeks. Will post pic in next few days.
Need help for some parts though.
RHF window (drivers) badly scratched, probably sand previously caught in rubber guide.
Exhaust clamps badly corroded from salt on roads in England.
Transmission a bit lumpy on down shift and while cruising at 30-35mph.
Rear brake rotors near min thickness.
And various cosmetic items like floor mats etc.
Need to know where the best place is to get these items as there's only one dealer in town and he charges like wounded bull. Have imported other stuff from Germany before and would appreciate good Audi contact there, if you can help.
BTW the chrome around rear side window needs stripping back, replacing or something as previous owner has had it buffed too hard or done something thats caused it to look frosted. Or is there another way to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
