Connor, there is someone who sells UK plates for 1/18 model cars if you wanted to put your dad's reg on. I've got mine on the sprint plus model.

Does it have a black interior?
it does have the black (and best) interior Jim, wood is lighter than mine, the detail is actually very good, pity the doors dont open really

Either it has a black interior OR the best (platinum, of course! ). It can't have both. Pleae make up your mind!

Yeah, I didn't order from them. They took too long replying to my e-mail. So I ended up making my own. Please share how you make yours, as mine aren't perfect.

Here's mine, I don't have your attention to detail, But I've managed this little Audi shrine where I keep my keys.



My RS 6 plus
A B5 RS 4, I've had for twelve years
A limited edition sport quattro
A hardback C5 brochure. Thanks to Darren (with the W12) for gifting this to me.

I'll possibly add an RS 2 and a D2 to the collection. These along with the ones I've already got are the only Audis I can be 'fanatical' about.

P.S Audi UK gave me some D2 memorabilia from when it was announced (the PF) I think it's a poster that would have gone in showrooms advertising the sat nav, I'll have to dig it out. I've got loads of rare Audi memorabilia in the loft.
