Default Anyone have the Audi "Miniature Euro Look Vanity Plate"?

Unfortunately, the dealer had already mounted the front license plate holder on my car before I bought it. Trying to figure out what to do. Came across this plate from Audi and thought it might look less obtrusive than a full size plate. Not sure how you would mount it, though. Anyone know if they make a miniature plate holder for it?

Default If you buy this, please debadge the grille first.

Otherwise your front-end will have eight rings. Like those people with four or five American flags on their cars.

Default No, no, you should go for it!

Go for the Three Step Plan:

1. Debadge or replace grille
2. Remove square plate kit
3. Install euro-plate kit

There's a little more pain than just turning a few screws, but that's part of the fun isn't it? Be sure to photodocument the process so we can all see it happen

Default Hmm...Have to give that some thought. Am planning to add a small rear spoiler...

Debating between the Zender and Votex. You have an opinion on that?

REALLY wish the dealer hadn't put on that stupid front license plate bracket. :-(

Default Personally I like the dealer-only one, or the Hofele

They call it the Trunk Lip Spoiler and it costs $393.70 plus paint and installation (total cost is probably around $600). This is from the Audi site: <img src="http://home.earthlink.net/~chab41/TrunkLipSpoiler.jpg">

Here's the Hofele one that looks quite similar, I have yet to find pricing on this one:

I agree with you. The only other one I'm considering is the Zender. Here's the pic:

What do you think of this one? My dealer wants $800 for the Votex. Scum bags!
