Does this sound right?

nirad

yes. Audi parts take the slow boat.

Find another reputable body shop in your area that does a lot of work on European cars. Call them and ask them to give you an estimate on how long it would take to order a door.

Normally there is stock located in the US that a shop can order form. Usually takes a couple of days. If that stock is out, they do need to order one from the old country...

how much is a door anyway? I need to replace my entire driverside front door.

TXurS6

I can't remember how much a door was but only the shell was replaced on mine. Do you need the entire door, internals and trim too?

B6S4play

No sir, just the door shell... I dont want to weld, so no skin.

TXurS6

but I would think ~ $200 unprepped.

B6S4play

because the body work alone on my current door to fix the ultra-crappy bondo work is well over $300.

They told me at the body shop that door skins are not available at all

Not sure if we are talking the same thing. To me the skins are just the outside panel of the door. I would doubt they sell that at all. The shell would be the entire door metal minus the trim, glass, electrical and mechanical.
