    Authentic German Number Plate Surrounds

    I guess if they meet these requirements http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/PersonalisedRegAndNumberPlates/DG_181503 then its ok, as it doesn't specify font/style etc just the spacing/size: No luck with the surrounds at the moment, the guy in Germany is struggling to understand why an extra...

    Authentic German Number Plate Surrounds

    ok my plan fell at the last hurdle ... the Audi parts guy in Germany insisted on a direct bank transfer to cover shipping costs and the banks charge about £10 for this ... so it made it too expensive. I am trying to convince the guy to open a paypal account to make it easier, but no luck so far...

    A4 Avant - Annoying location of 12v outlet by the handbrake?

    Is there a useful 'howto' for removing the 12v outlet and surrounding trim? I still haven't formed a final solution to the initial problem ... but I am toying with a few ideas. Thanks Jon

    A4 Avant - Annoying location of 12v outlet by the handbrake?

    I'm looking at trying to fit a 12v outlet in the glove box and linking this to a 4 or 5 port USB hub, so that I can pop Sat Nav, Bluetooth, Phone etc on charge in the glove box and out of sight. Something like this: Use the 12v outlet to power the hub, then the hub to charge the devices. The...

    Car Washing - Pressure Washer Recommendations?

    Hi I'm looking at getting a pressure washer, solely for keeping the car clean and I'm hoping to keep the cost down <£100. So far I have looked at the smallest: Karcher K219 at £50 (Tesco) and also: Karcher K291 Pressure Washer at £70 (Halfords on sale) But not sure is either of...

    A4 Avant - Annoying location of 12v outlet by the handbrake?

    I read stories about them not fitting into most vehicles or being a very loose fit etc. I suppose for the £10 they cost I could risk it, even as a stop gap solution - it still doesn't resolve my ultimate annoyance of the positioning of the only front cabin 12v outlet though. Here's one...

    A4 Avant - Annoying location of 12v outlet by the handbrake?

    Pictures to help illustrate: I did consider one of these too: but after reading a lot of bad reviews I opted against it, unfortunately no other manufacturers appear to have followed Belkin's lead on these more compact 12v-USB adapters, as shown by the one in my picture above...

    A4 Avant - Annoying location of 12v outlet by the handbrake?

    Does the location of the 12v outlet / cigarette lighter port on the A4 not annoy people? I have done a little research on this, but not found anything useful so far, but I would really like to be able to plug phone charger, or sat nav power into the 12v outlet without it sticking up and...

    Authentic German Number Plate Surrounds

    Kennzeichen-Halters appears to be the German word for Number Plate Holder. I am pursuing a number of authentic leads in Germany to see if can source some directly from a German Audi Dealer! I imagine a lot of people are simply raising their eye brows at this, but it has become something of a...

    I think a pair of authentic German dealer surrounds would be my preference, just not sure how to go about it or indeed what they might/should cost! Thanks Jon

    Authentic German Number Plate Surrounds

    I'm new to owning an Audi, and this may be a trend that died out in the last decade ... but I have always liked the German Dealer Number Plate Surrounds that you see on German cars, especially VWs or Audis. I have been trawling the internet all afternoon to find a source of authentic plate...
