Here is the D3 version of the Ski Hatch for sale Price wise I don't think it's too bad.

Model: MY 2008 08 3.0TDI Quattro Sport, Black on Black (Transporter Edition) Lowered 60mm on drop link bars. Alloys swapped out to RS6 style 20" x 9.5". It's got full tints on all windows, and has the black leather interior. Remapped by Elite Automotive in Cornwall, giving an increase output to 290bhp/450lbs.

Options: Keyless Entry & Start, Bluetooth Hands Free, Quad Zone Climate, 3 Spoke Sports Tiptronic Multi Function Steering Wheel, Black Leather Comfort Seats, AMI, Drivers & Passenger Electric Memory Seats, Auto Dimming Mirrors, Bi-Xenons.

Future Plans:
Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered.

Planned Mods:
Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.

Does anyone know the dimensions of the ski hatch? I am trying to work out if I can fit skis and a snowboard through it.

If it's the same as a D2 you will struggle with a snowboard, how wide is it?

My D2 "orifice" is almost 10" by 9", so if a D3 is similar you might just manage it with the board at a slant. Only way is to test it.
Might depend if you are prepared to dispense with the elephant condom......

Condom not needed

I would be grateful if anyone with the hatch can measure it, I'm planning to drive to French Alps and would need to fit both the board and skis.

Can't you just have the board in the cabin lengthways between the seats?

If you're planning on using the ski hatch you'll only have at most 4 onboard anyway

Hi, that's the plan B yes, but ideally I would like to avoid that. Also not sure if the skis are short enough to fit there - I haven't tried. I know they both are too long for the boot...

I only have 3 in the car for the long journey, but when in Alps I may have 4th person travelling with us.

Skis through the hatch, board continues inside the car. Simples.
