Is this the norm?

Post by G30001 » Sun Feb 17, 2019 9:55 pm

Are the interior door handles odd?

I have 2 'RS' handles and 2 normal handles diagonally opposite, is this normal?

Can't see your pictures for some reason but they should all match.

Odd question I know but, do you have a large single hazard light button or a split one with airbag warning?

Ok, so it's very likely the car came with the exclusive interior rather than being retrofitted. Most forget to fit that large button and code the car to deactivate the required airbags. I'm flummoxed why you have 2 non RS handles then.

Yeah the interior was on the options list when I checked it with Audi, the only thing changed is the wheels from V Spokes to the Black Rotors!

Me too, worries me a bit!

Has it got the 'exclusive' badges on the front door cards, if it's a special edition it should have. I am assuming it is a run out special edition?

It does have the badges on all 4 door cards, buckets, steering wheel and gear gator with red diamond stitching it is the full £6,890 option.

Not a run out though as it is a MY14 (just)

Have you looked around the door cards to see if there are any pry marks, from potential door card removal?
