WTF!? Isn't there anyone else that sells OEM interior pieces at a cheaper cost? It's just a center vent!!!

find the part number from the dealership then go to geniuneaudiparts.com

if the dealership is asking 230 it will probably 150 on there. Otherwise maybe a junkyard? I would check to see if its the same one for the B6. Might be easier to find?

Good luck.

I bought a spare one awhile back for my car as I cut the original one to put gauges in the vent. The new one from the dealer was $65, are you sure they are giving you the correct part?

You need them for the B6 or B8 (referring to your garage)
I just did a quick search on Genine and for both model, they don't cost more than $50

LOL. Sorry, I meant to post this in the B8 forum. Moderators, please move to B8 forum. Thanks for the suggestion of GAP. They had the vent for $166 rather than $230. Still expensive, but much better though.
