Yup, that's the one. See how the Rhombus doesn't have the white border as on the OEM version? Bothered me enough to pay extra but probably wont be an issue for most people. Also couldn't help but laugh at "CF Stainless Steel"...

The font looks off to me as well.

LOL I love old threads. It's good to look back on where I was.

So I ended up getting an OEM CF Audi Sport frame for Christmas 2018. It looks great and I love it.

I just wish Audi would make one that fit out and around the entire plate bracket. That would look very clean.

Just select the dealer closest to you if you want to pick it up.

Just went to put on my new plate frame and ran into trouble. It's never easy... The top left screw is turning freely, but not coming out. Whatever the screw was screwed into is now spinning freely . I opened the sport back and there's no easy / obvious means of getting access to the backing bolt.

Any suggestions (besides taking off the interior trim pieces)? Maybe attaching an electric screw driver and trying to back it out at a high rpm and hoping the bolt catches on something?

Try sliding a knife edge under the screw while turning to put some outward pressure on it. That might get it to come out.

Thanks! I took your idea and put it on steroids!! I took some vice grips and clamped on the bolt and pulled while unscrewing it. Worked like a charm!
