Audi Tradition Number Plate Surround

Post by anditsoundslikebells » Tue Jan 10, 2023 11:08 am

It's been a while!

Has anyone every seen the number plate surround you see on this RS2?

I can't seem to find one.

There are these though:

Buy the RS2, remove the number plate surround, discard the RS2. Job done.

one day Shop.

for now i can just about afford the 6, although it tests me often.

I'm going to order two of the ones from Audi Tradition I think.

If anyone else wants one, my father is coming over here to Holland and could take them back with him, and I'll post to you when I'm next back.

Shopp - I googled it and they are only 1mm different in height though?

I do need a rear plate anyway as it’s started to fade.

Cool. They look much smaller. Actually, now I come to think of it, I’ve got some in the garage. I’ll measure them tomorrow.

You're right. I would have sworn that the german plates were smaller, but they're actually slightly higher (same width though).

So the UK plates should easily fit in the German holders.

Number plate surrounds arrived today. They sent me the wrong ones.. :thumbsdown:

Wanted the ‘Audi Sport’ ones but got four rings instead.

I got my Audi Tradition ones.

I'll give it a clean and pop some photos up.

I've had the front suspension rebuilt (again), it now drives perfectly. Exactly as I wanted when I started this journey.

I shouldn't say this out load.... it appears to be 100% fixed (for the first time in three years).

So I figured I'd treat her to some new numberplate surrounds.
