Your probably right.

Edit, yep they are different and yes using speed nuts that are difficult to get at as i found out.

Little bump.

Still looking unbelievably!

NLA from Audi, been ignored / let down by more than a few ebay breakers, not worth their while i guess.

It was about 18 months ago now Mark but I got genuine ones cheaply from eBay seller 'urquattrob' Robert Karlinski 01895 254510 quattrobits@hotmail.com
Bought something else from him over the weekend and received it yesterday. Good service. Worth a try

Sorted, found one on the floor next to a very sorry looking B4 in JT Wades, Warrington. £5 for this and 4 wheel nuts!!

Will be keeping my eyes peeled for some spare ones too in case of another pixie strike!
