Default Glass on EU & US models.

I tried to order a pre-cut tint set for my 8 on ebay (us) here the other day. But i got in answer that they didn't ship to Europe because of difference in EU and US models. First i thought was that it was a policy they have because that's the general case. But is this really true regarding D2 A8's?

I don't know 100% but i can't see there would be any differences for glass, windows or lights???

well it would be a competely different car bodywise if the glass was smaller or bigger. I'm going with, It's the same and i'll have to be proved wrong with the 2 different size bits of glass side by side.

It could be he just doesn't want to sell to you

Maybe rules on tints would be different, or the laminate construction.

There is single and double glazed, athermic and plain, heated and no heated windscreens. Last time I looked there were about 30 different windscreens!
