Re: how about...
<i>-TOW HITCH!!!!</i>
Yes! Requires little effort - just get the installation instructions PDF from wesfalia-automotive.com and adapt the design to a US-type receiver with safety-chain hooks (absent in the European hitch).
<i>-oem looking way to integrate garmin or other NAV unit into space underneath A/C controls in single DIN radio equipped cars (custom faceplate to recieve NAV unit)</i>
YES YES YES!!! Need adaptors both for putting a 1-DIN device under the A/C controls and for mounting a touchscreen (like a xenarc 700 tsv or similar) there for a carputer (once that's possible, a new Mac Mini will live in my glovebox).
Also, how about some sort of filler compartment or cover that will fit completely flush in the double-cupholder? I never put beverages there, and it just traps lint/dust. I'd love a way to make it seamlessly blend in with the rest of the console, not protruding, not recessed. Brushed aluminium like the door handles would be fine, or carbon fibre, or leather. It should have an o-ring type gasket to keep it snug and keep dirt from getting down around the edges of it.
One more.... replacements for the useless (without bluetooth) buttons on the steering wheel. It irks me that these two lighted, but forever useless buttons are constantly reminding me that I didn't get factory bluetooth.

A trunk organizer would be nice.
My wife had a nice boot organizer in her Cooper S with divisions and it was also colapsable if needed. I have not been able to find anything that would be a perfect fit for the A3.

HITCH....
the reciver hitch is at the top of my list since ive been looking for one since i bought my car. the second thing would be an open grill like seen on the R9 and the shooting brake concepts. it realy opens up the front of the car and makes it look much more aggresive. if youre near me i can help with the fab of metal prototypes
oh and a 2.0 w/quattro
