Weird handbook wallet arrived from TPS

The valeter who did a great job on my car before collection took the tax disc holder off and stuck it on the handbook wallet, OK if its plastic like normal Audis but the RS leather one didn't like this and got damaged.
So I asked TPS to get me another and this is what they sent me!
It's quite cool actually, when you open it up there is an embossed Audi logo and some business card slots.
But has anyone ever seen one before? Is it for a non-UK market?
The B5 one is black so it isn't for that and there is no other RS4 yet apart from ours :?

yes cream coloured suede! I wonder if yours was ordered at a later date
The correct RS wallet should be black leather, not cheap plastic, if it has RS embossed onto it, it's leather

no, why do you ask?
until I get new 'correct' one I might as well keep it
More likely to sell this one which cost £42.11

I have not got one, audi dealer had to make me up a new generic one full of SH receipts he printed out, and a duplicate SH book apparently the previous owner misplaced it when moving house :(

I asked about a new one but they were saying £180, where did you get that one for £42 ?

Ice_Coffee, have you checked under the steering wheel :lol: :?:

If he's got one eightfoot, I'd be interested
where did you get that one for £42 ?
TPS, should be the same price from an Audi dealer as I got zero discount.
£180 is prob with all the manuals, the car manual is around £40 as is Nav + manual.

I suppose it is quite pleasant, just wondering why it exists as it was never supplied with the car, wonder if it's an accessory from a range?
Look good in cars with that silver interior!

Thanks eight foot, I definitely do not have one in the car I already have the car manual, and the dealer purchased me a brand new navigation manual.

I have swapped my manuals over and stuck it in the car, it actually looks quite smart in the slot or in the door pocket
