Yeah they'll be £15 each by the time they get to the UK :mad:

Give A8parts a call - they can buy from Tradition through a local dealer. They suspended orders a little while ago because of the ongoing political cluster**** but since that's all delayed now they might be open again.

Worst case I'll print some.

I wasn't aware of that.

I did buy something from AT relatively recently (Door trim rubbing strip to help sort out my sons S4, now sold) using a German supplier who can buy from AT and forward to the UK. Obviously there are shipping and handling/admin charges to add but they were fair and reasonable (unlike the quote from my local Audi dealer!).

Him you would think they would want to sell them, or do I miss something?

Audi Tradition don't want to deal with the UK at all. Prestige have been trying to get a dealer account with them for ages, but they won't play ball. Some dealerships will play ball, but most can't be bothered. Those who do put a massive markup on everything.

It all seems to be part of Audi's concerted effort to kill off all the older models. It hardly generates brand loyalty though.

Just for a laugh I just tried to order a batch direct from AT - I have an account there.
Got all the way through (as usual) but it refused payment with the standard "not PayPal" message, even though I was using a credit card.... :mad:

i tried and got credit card payment not available

do we have any German members?

in the mean time have emailed A8 parts

interesting but ultimately useless email from audi tradition

We greatly regret the inconvenience caused to you by the selection of the payment method in the Audi Tradition Shop.
Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing a technical malfunction and credit card payment is not possible at the moment. Our technical department is already working on a solution to restore services as quickly as possible. At this moment, however, we cannot determine when payment options will be available again.
Alternatively, you have the option of contacting an authorized Audi partner or the general importer in your country. They will be happy to advise and order the required spare parts for you.
We trust this information proves helpful. Do let us know if we can be of further assistance.

MJ summed it all up.

Yeah they've been having that technical malfunction for the last 2 years :mad:

so I asked them to give me details for a UK dealer and apparently thats too difficult to do on email they want me to call them.

your not kidding they make this difficult

Prestige have confirmed they are still having no luck getting setup after 6 months of trying
