Group buy might be an idea. I wonder if the other interested Audi owners were from here, or elsewhere?
As requested Mark, some photos (too many probably, but I can't stop taking them - unless I'm driving it, of course ).

I am having such a hoot with it - and will be taking it for a trip to the Forest of Bowland tomorrow to do some walking - plus a recce for our end of month A8 meet .

Even though I knew this car was good, having one that's all mine is a whole new ball game, and I feel incredibly privileged and lucky

VERY nice!

Great choice of colour too, and I love that plate!

I've asked for an update on the availability of these and I'm told that some more will be made if there's enough interest.

So who wants one? Can I please have a show of hands

Had this reply from the seller/maker (Rob):

Quote:
I checked over the weekend and I have some caps already machined. So if you would be after brushed aluminium caps with a specific logo, I could make them pretty quickly.

I have attached a photo of what the aluminium ones look like. I currently make them with the following logo:

VW
Washer
Seat
Audi

Let me know if you are interested. I can also anodise, but obviously this will take a bit longer, as they normally get engraved after anodising.

Look great, but I think I still prefer the anodised finish ..... Whaddya think?

My (strong) preference would be for the original design (i.e. Neil's!), and I'm in no great hurry.
