Does anyone have access to the option codes (in Germany) for the R8. There are several options available at the initial orders here in the US that were dropped after a while, such as the carbon sideblades (code 6H3), however if the option code is known I think there may be a way to order it????

You can get them painted a different color though, and one was just spec'd from the dealer here as black (painted) instead of silver or body colored.

If it is the carbon blades you want, I think you are out of luck for now - though you should be able to switch to them in the future. If you look on the more european based R8 forum (R8talk.com) you will see the same lamentation.

I have the 2008 R8 order guide, but it is US.

and also the interior and engine comparment Carbon fiber elements as they were on the Autoshow cars earlier this year. I am guessing this based on the Configurator on the german site, www.audi.de and there was a company that I found taht sells the replacement parts her in the US (for a lot of Money) so apperantly they are obtainable but Audi of America decided not to offer them...

As backorder parts are delivered, orders are sequenced on a one by one basis. Customers are told they wont have a build date for their cars until parts show up.

Like is said, it's really order purgatory. And that's a situation AoA (and no sensible vehicle distributor) would deal with.</font>
