Go on rs6.com most of the yanks want the battery in the spare wheel well, i'm sure someone there would love to swap for yours.

Quite agree - the roof box should be LONGER to match the car roof in aesthetics...

Maybe see if you can find one of those battery boxes on ebay or through a specialist Audi wrecked over there?
Or you may be able to order one directly from Audi here as it's a stock part?

What would be the point, as I understand that you can't fit a 19" RS6 tyre in the spare well, even if the battery is out!?

why does it need to be a 19inch? These guys clearly have a wheel in there. What about a 17 with a deflated tyre? Then just pump it up when needed?

A 17" rim won't clear the brembo's on the RS6, it clashes with the caliper.
