    Jan. 17, 2007:
    U.S. death toll from cancer drops for second straight year.
    Props to everyone whose New Year's resolution is to quit smoking.

    More Props:
    -Mark Sirota - for sparking interest in this part.
    -Dubsfan - for posting up the part number.

    Photos:
    There are none! Even the European sources can't find any
    actual photos of this part:( But I'm trying to get one.

    What is it?
    It's a replacement part for a non-smokers A3 ;)
    Replaces the ashtray.
    Looks like a straight swap.

    It appears to be large enough to hold your cell phone, Ipod,
    possibly a PDA, wallet. Looks like anyone with Bose or Nav may
    benefit from this the most, since they don't have that large
    area behind the ashtray area. I'm considering it, since there
    is no smoking in my whip.

    Where do I get it?
    ECS. Vagparts. Anyone who imports Euro OEM parts. ie: NOT your local dealership. Ugh.

    Pricing:
    I would expect pricing to be around: 8-12 GBP, hopefully on the lighter side. + 6 GBP postage.

    Part #: 8P0 863 301 A










    And since the forum is slow this time of year, some photos
    (some silly) from my photobucket "interior" pages:
