View Full Version : Why is it so hard to find a euro plate holder filler panel for non-S-line ?
OEMPlus lists them but they're out of stock and $140.
Any cheaper options? I can't find any on eBay or in the classifieds....

Hey man, i have a pearlescent black non s-line europlate holder that im not using anymore because i just converted my non s-line bumper to an s-line. The problem is, is that i drilled holes in my Europlate and the Plate holder to ensure it staying on. I could provide you the filler plate and all of the hardware i used.
PM me if you are interested! I will definitely sell it for a LOT less than 140
dude im with you
ive been trying to find a black holder for non-sline for like 6 months now. everywhere is always either sold out or backordered.
how annoying

I got my non S line a few years ago from Vag parts, but I think they went out of business. I think it was about $90 shipped.
Yep, they did. That site was mentioned in another thread similar to this one. Too bad....

right now my euro plate is velcro'd on a north american plate holder lol
hahahaha. im surprised a retailer never sees this threads and thinks "maybe we should stock these. people obviously want them" but that just never seems to happen..

True. The only place I was able to find mine though was OEMPlus.

How cracked are we talking? Could it be covered up with some epoxy and a coat of plasti-dip ?

If youre going to plai dip it i dont think it would be a problem. it still holds the plate since its still on my car. but in a month im switching to a hofele front end.

Well, keep me in mind. [;)] PM me when you're finished with the swap!

Chances are the cars come with them installed from Germany, and the US dealers need to swap the blank fillers or US plate fillers for those states that require fronts. I'm gonna check with my dealer..

Can't hurt to double check, but from what I've seen posted, Euro Plate holders aren't sold at dealerships:
This is not sold through any dealer in the US, even the gods over at Miramar Audi. TMT could have them and maybe ECS or some others... not likely though.
If your dealer doesn't have one, keep calling around until you find one. After you try the 287 Audi dealers in the US and Canada, let us know. I checked earlier today and we have your version in stock...
