Anyone any idea whether this is a genuine Audi cover or after market. If so which manufacturer if anyone knows?

Looks like it's for a C7.

Just to give you an idea if you do go for it the c7 cover it fits the c5 well, I have got a genuine c7 microfibre lined one as seen below and it fits pretty much bang on!

Thanks for that. Looks great and pretty much the same other than colour and extra graphics . Any idea what they cost normally
Thanks

Think they are around £250 for the microfibre lined one, I got this second hand off here though.

It's really difficult to find a good cover. Genuine OE ones are invariably the best quality. If that's a genuine one, then I'd get it. Have you asked the vendor?

I use a cheap one on my RS6 to keep the dust off it in the garage. No one sees it so I don't care how it looks as long as it works. The problem with some of the cloth covers (as I found out with the more expensive ones I tried) is that they actually let really fine dust through to the car. Now I always get weatherproof covers, even for indoors.

Thanks for the replies Shop and Y7TSY
I wanted to know because I bought one of these from the same seller last week ( cheaper mind) and then he put another up for sale straight away.
Seems to be a quality bit of kit , fleece lined has Audi symbol on label but also says 'sample 1' ?
I was intrigued as to whether it was genuine or not and the cost. Doesn't fit the saloon quite as well but good enough for the price

Well, it's good to know you weren't planning on buying this one, and that it's a good fit for the C5 - this meant I felt empowered without causing a forum conflict.....

Yeah nice one . I was watching it on eBay and saw the bid. I wondered if it was someone off here. I think you'll be well pleased when it arrives.
The seller has now listed a similar cover for an a3 saloon so I contacted him to see if he can do one for my rs3. Clearly he has a source of them as he says he is going to check .

Yeh, I do tend to follow first dibs, so if you'd not said you weren't buying it, I wouldn't have bidded.

As not everyone is necessarily as principled as you I thought it safer to take a punt and get one then ask questions afterwards.

They look mint
