Storage compartment steering wheel panel
 
I was bored last night and came across this storage compartment and would like to know if this is from a RHD or LHD car? Also would like to know if this is from a PFL or FL car? I want to find one for my S8.

Thats left hand drive. Apart from the shape, the 4D1 tells you that. Also, from the coarse grain in the vinyl its from a PF, backed up by the '95 date stamp :)

Do you have the knee bar in yours? It should be relatively simple to get one from our German friends.

Cool that it's from a LHD car. I wasn't sure if it was LHD or RHD and forgot :hammer: to use the part number that's listed on the ad in parts search to find that out. Bummer it's not from a FL car.

Knee bar, meaning knee panel? My car has a knee panel but it doesn't have the storage compartment. I believe all D2 cars that America got just knee panels. Here is a picture from BAT of the knee panel without the storage compartment.

Knee somethingorother ;) I know US-market Corrados had a horrid padded panel where everyone else had nice tidy storage pockets.

The vinyl pattern is different between PF and FL so you'll need to look for an FL version. 99> in Europe +++

I hate how we never got the storage compartment. One of past old Audi I had I was able to install a storage compartment knee panel and it actually gave me more leg room over the original knee panel that never got a storage compartment.

Thanks for the information about the PF and FL version. I'll keep looking for a FL one that's black in color.

They do, indeed.
