Audi Gecko Air Freshener

[Gordo77]

Anyone else got one of these... went for white which is apparently pine/orange scent.

It had a whiff of disinfectant about it initially, but quite like it now!

White looks good - I had a red one and it just smelt like plastic so I gave it to my lad to play with.

 

[RichardT]

My car doesn't smell, so I don't need one...

Red is the flowery scent!!

Might try yellow for the S3... Tropical.

Ah gotcha - it was an Ebay purchase so probably been on the shelf for too long. If I'd had know it was flowers though I wouldn't have bothered LoL !

Never had a car 'smellies' in any of my cars......Brings back very bad memories of when I was a kid in my dad's car....The combination of the 'traffick light' car scents

and cigarettes. I would manage 10 or so miles before the innevitable........

 

[Rob2k68]

Haha I remember those traffic lights !

My missus has one of those magic tree rip offs in the shape of a huge frog swinging from her rear view mirror - came free with a silver valet at the hand car wash. I can't tell you how annoying it is swinging from side to side !!

You could always fake a break in... lol

I also have the white gecko. Not to bad to be honest.

Can you still actually buy those!? Know what you mean... blast from the past!!!

 

[simonali]

Nope, the company went bust a few years back.

 

[James_TDi]

I've got the black one but the smell didn't last very long. Will get a different colour when I replace it.

Gliptone leather cleaner and conditioner makes the best invisible air freshener!
Makes your car smell like a fresh new horse saddle! Yeeeee haaaar, ride em cowboy!

........I've had a few.The yellow '' tropical'' one is best.

 

[deanshaw24]

I like the smell of the leather seats! That's my air freshener

Apparently there are a few for sale on ebay, which saddos buy and then wonder why they don't smell of anything!

 

[sidibear]

Aerospace 303 is my air freshener, makes the car smell great inside.

I bought 4 of these last September http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/made-to-measure.253661/ I'm just about to change one out and put the third one in!!! I was going to do it a few weeks back until a friend got in the car and said "Ohh smell cherry bake wells"...so it was still going, I've just gotten used to the smell.

I've bought the California Scent ones before... Think I've also had the Cherry one!

 

[simonali]

I can't stand air fresheners. If my car stank of stale fags and wet dog I'd still not put one in it!

 

[Neil C]

Stale botty-burp . . . . the smell of a real man's car

 

[lfcrule1972]

I don't mind the cherry California scents freshener, that said I'm still enjoying the new car smell at the moment

 

[0llie]

Those Feu Orange air fresheners sell for a hell of a lot nowadays! Apparently people like(d) them quite a lot

You can see previous selling prices on eBay here - £10 for a used, empty one!?

That's a great idea, as mine obviously smell of rose petals mixed with lavender water.

Was very tempted to buy a Gecko when I was in my dealer yesterday. They had them conveniently placed on the parts counter almost in the same way chewing gum would be in a petrol station

I can see myself working through the entire collection of colours... tempted by the yellow tropical one next!

 

[Rob2k68]

Prob try the yellow or white next so that it contrasts with the red vents.

 

[RyanCudlip]

What price are they usually? I looked online and they were like £22! Belfast Audi didn't have a price on them that I could see

Rob, I'm gettin seriously worried about you??!! lol

Air-fresheners = clutter and therefore have no place in my car whatsoever........................as always your mileage (or gecko, whatever the **** you're dangling) may vary.......................

Gliptone is the best car scent in the known universe

Accidentally clicked that link, then accidentally ordered a yellow one. Will try it out in the office at work before deciding if I want to have it in the S3.

If I sit it on my desk, I can point it towards anyone sitting opposite that happens to be a bit irritating, and it might make them feel a bit uneasy.

............it's the best one I've tried so far. Longest lasting one as well.
