Default Interior mod. Replace your ashtray and gain 2-3hp;)

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.

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

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

<b>What is it?</b>
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.

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

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

<b>Part #: 8P0 863 301 A</b>

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

Default Kudos to all who are planning to stop! Check out this site

Its an award winning site that is aimed at getting the younger crowd to think that smoking is 'stupid'

I was one of the developers on it, tell me what you think!!!

Default How difficult would installation be?

I am in on this for sure. That stupid ashtray is such a wast of space.

Default both!

I have 9 total
the one I live with is great. she cooks and has a silver A3.
pretty much stock. helps me compare mods

what a stupid face I'm displaying here.
but I had good reason.
it's xmas break.
imagine going to the bar in your old neighborhood.
all those d.bags you'd rather not see.
but you're going with your gf and friends from our shore house
not a bad night. glad someone else was playing papparazzi.
