Default that's just wrong on Audi's part. why on earth would they design it differently?!?!?

can't they keep it the same and save some R&D in the process.

Default

probably they were not able to "mould" the aluminium the way the plastic was moulded

Default that's unbelieveable! I guess I'm finding out that Audi would rather things fit correctly then try

to force the same process onto each part even though they may be slightly different. Amazing. I guess that's why when US car manufacturers parts share, the quality and fitment can be affected, since they mostly force the part to fit by making small adjustments.

Thanks.

wow, thanks for the pics. Makes a lot of sense now. I'm glad I didn't buy any off of Ebay.de!

Default FYI, it has been confirmed that they will screw into the A4 mirror assembly...REPEAT.

S4 Housings DO fit on A4's. The A4's have the screw holes to mount the S4 housings.
