Thank you for the tip! Just got my 1st Audi & didnt know til I came across your video & I had it 2 months before I found the hidden compartments under the front seats! When I was vacuuming the car for the millionth time smh 🤦 love my Audi! Oh & the emblems look clean along with the rims but if your board maybe throwing a little color would be a good change like you mentioned. Champagne or gold is good or maybe the chameleon color that just puts a hint in with the black rims like outlining it to make em pop & chameleon emblems! That way it's not to much & it would be bad ass popping with that solid black. Definitely would be original.

He said they used to have a card key that looked like a credit card that was only good to use once. I don’t know, he seems to be knowledgeable about Audis, I just can’t imagine what scenario that would be needed for. Mine doesn’t have the holder though, only the key because I have the switchblade type key.

I had a similar height difference side-to-side on my Audi A4 B8 2010. I replace springs and shocks all around and then even swapped everything to the opposite side; I reset all the suspension bolts and even took to a suspension specialist. They couldn't find anything wrong and just blamed 'build varience'. I ended up cutting down the height of the high, rear corner rubber pad the spring sits on and that helped a fair bit. If anyone has any other better solution is love to know the cause and fix.
