Oh, okay, that's certainly understandable. If you've got the time, make it a project and just enjoy working on it. Cheers.

<http://www.autohausaz.com/ > is a pretty good place for aftermarket parts along with a few genuine or rebuilt parts, especially if you order enough for free shipping.
< http://genuineaudiparts.com/partlocator/index.cfm?siteid=214407> is where I go for genuine dealer parts. They have a new catalog so I am not sure how good it is, but if you can order by part #, this is a great place.

You don't say what bulbs you need. The instrument panel bulbs are 4A0 919 040C for the most common orange base 1.3W bulbs that light the instruments. But, few buy these because the 893 919 040A green base 2W bulbs provide much better lighting. You have a dimmer so the bulbs are never too bright. Autohausaz has a good price for these Osram bulbs. The genuine part is no better and much higher priced at the dealer, even genuineaudiparts (San Diego Audi). The other festoon bulbs for the courtesy lights can be found aftermarket also. Just match up the size and wattage.

The center door side moulding can best be found at a salvage yard. It is common to the 100 models of the same C4 body years. You may also find some in the marketplace at audifans.com. That could be a source for many used parts you need, including engines. The lower door rubber moulding is probably going to be a dealer part from genuineaudiparts or similar online dealer. The part is reinforced with a metal strip inside that rusts out making the bubbled appearance and eventually breaks inside. Check out all the links on this page for other help : http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?p=24249007 You were told wrong about this being the best place to get help as you can see by the sparse traffic here. That chassis photo has active links to information about many of the systems and may lead you to better help.

i tried taking of the door panel where are al the screws? or how is it held on? i need to fix the window switch and handle

If it is just the window switch in the drivers armrest, you can remove that panel by prying up the rear side with a putty knife by protecting the armrest vinyl. There are just metal spring clips holding the whole assembly in place.

Removing the door panel can be found by going to the previous post where that last link to an older audiworld post that will lead you to speedtek's UrS chassis diagram with the active links. There is one for the front window and door locks that you can click to go to a discussion. It looks like the contents of the actual repair info is under revision, but you can click the link at the top of the discussion page to go to the start page. At the top of that page is a FAQ link that has a lengthy list of topics, including a door panel removal by Jimmy Pribble. If you go to this page, don't forget how you got there, or how to visit again.
