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

Yes I got it sent out to me but it was still too big .. This plate is about a inch either side in of the screw fixings :bash: . The plate is 2 letters 2 numbers but can make the same size up to 5 letters/numbers .

Is it on a FL or PRE FL ? The FL has a different grill and the screw holes are slightly wider apart... meaning my original cut down holder does not now fit !!!

I just cut the edges off either side so I wasn't worried about where the screw holes are - not as tidy as cutting the middle, but the end result is the same and a 5minute job...

Well now the 6 has gone this little baby is no longer required. It won’t actually fit the RS3😢

These are very hard to find genuine OEM. Audi fits perfect on C7 RS6

Best offer

Popped into Audi today. Can’t quite believe the price on these £119 That’s crazy for a bit of plastic plus it’s only on back ordernot even sure you can even buy one. I looked for an option for the RS3. There was one but a bit deeper and it was £160 is that not Audi just taking the P 🤔
