(fake) eBay.de LHD floor mats?

Post by anditsoundslikebells » Wed Apr 06, 2022 12:57 pm

I've been looking for good quality replica or OEM mats for what must be years now.
One good quality manufacturer here in Holland first said the A6 & RS6 were the same, then stopped making them. I gather they are not the same.
I thought I was in luck with this ad on eBay.de :
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374003835551 ... %7Ciid%3A1[/url]
he states:
"AUDI RS6 4B C5 ORIGINAL QUATTRO GMBH FLOOR MATS.
THE MATS ARE USED BUT IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
ORIGINAL WITH LEATHER PIPING!
THE ORIGNAL MATS ARE NO LONGER AFFORDABLE TODAY AND WERE NOT USED IN MY CAR. I STORE THEM IN THE BASEMENT AND REPLACED THEM FOR CHEAP MATS."

Am I right to call BS? If it sounds too good to be true..... it is?
They look dodgy to me.

I found these references from past threads:

Makes me think these are reproductions and he is telling a story.

From what I can tell no one knows of a good quality supplier who can make these with the correct logo and bend? I think I'm flogging a dead horse?

Yeah, the OE mats are moulded and wouldn't sit flat like those.

I've been looking out for ages, too. I think it's game over. I keep meaning to find out if C6 or C7 mats would fit, but I don't have much hope.

seems i was too late to the party.
those look great.
they would complete my newly restored interior perfectly.
my car came with some new, but rubbish looking mats.

I came to the same conclusion about the C6 option. I've just bought these C6 RS6 LHD for 80 quid with free shipping:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144370804718 ... fresh=true

I'll give them a proper clean and show you what they look like in. Might take a bit of convincing to sit correctly but at least the RS6 branding is correct. For that price I figured it's worth a punt.

hopefully it works. the white piping will match my seats...

I'd settle for some OE quality mats without the logo. I'm not a fan of the logo on the floormats anyway.

Been trying for years to get a new set.
As Shop says they are moulded.
Phoned loads of companies that say the can supply them for the c5.
But then they tell you that they cannot because they are moulded.
My original mats are quite good. But the drivers mat is showing heel mark wear.
I think I will end up trying to get my current front mats refurbished sometime in the future.

I got some gen ones just over a year or so ago from Audi Tradition, cost me about £300 but definitely worth it I think. I still have my original ones as well but the drivers one has the usual heel mark in it and they also do not have the RS logo.

is anyone aware of the part numbers?
i've looked through the usual websites for rhd or lhd part numbers but no joy.
the C6 RS6 mats i've got from ebay have a part number. i assume that the C5 must also have?

It’s really tricky to find the part numbers for the C5. The parts catalogue says “refer to accessories catalogue” which I’ve never found. The C6 mats are in the parts catalogue however.

I’ll have a look at my (non logo) mats to see if I can find a part number on there.

Yeah, but it’s an AT stock number, not an Audi part number.
