Hello all ..

Would some kind person please give me the part number or link to where I can order a short 2+2 plate front number plate holder in gloss black ?

Also the correct size black rings for front and rear , and the RS6 badge in black also if possible ..

It depends on the manufacture year of your car, have a look at this below,

As for emblem and badge, I got someone who does minor repair boby work did the paint for me in Hong Kong.

Thanks Bem,

I've seen that link - car is 2017 C7 . The serial number on that thead isn't reqonised, not much luck in sourcing one I'll call Audi and try again .. If there's a link can so one post I'll get this ordered ASAP some complete tool has drilled either side of the plate holder very annoying !

Here's an idea .. What about small drill on the plate and white tie wraps ?to the honey Combe No plate holder at all ... Hmmm I may test this I would just suck it up and go plateless but the cars already to noticeable I don't want the police pulling me just an excuse for a fine !

Dude. Are you serious!?!?!? That looks horrid. I would have personally just used a dremmel and cut the plate holder down to size and use a liquid adhesive to bond the plate to holder or sticky pads if you don’t like to see screws.

Edwardo my friend ,

I hear you , the old plate holder was drilled it looked .. Horrific . That picture is a close up so 2m away you can see jack . Just grill .. This is a temp fix to get rid of the drilled massive holder my plate is 4 letters so I don't need a huge holder .

If I cut that tonight the cut finish will need painting or dipping orvtge finish will be rubbish .. It's not as bad as it looks honest

Remember the plate isn't much bigger than the Audi badge . It's desrete , close up not ideal but I'll sorce the EU plate holder before long or have a custom made to measure one made up and painted .

I don’t understand why that small plate holder is not available. It’s an official Audi part. That must have been my best purchase thanks to Bem. Just the cost of postage. Top man 👍

Or just order the short one from audi UK?

If you can afford an RS6 and a 4 digit plate then surely £120 for a decent looking plate holder is worthwhile?

Evening all, shorter plate all done - plate is tiny and will work up 5 letters at this size 4 is optimum see images . If you want one PM me and I'll sort it out for you not cheep as there done bespoke .

I have done a little quick how to below (for those interested) of how to get them on without the need for the plate holder large one or small one (I have a small holder now but it's still too big for it) so this is a good fix for the grill and looks nice on.

That is a small plate just the 3 number/letters ? Did you actually get the small Audi plate holder in the end ?
