Build dates are not the same as model years...might try giving them
the VIN number.  If you have the PN off the "wrong" mat, be sure to
give it to whomever you try to order the "right" one from, or ask
them for the PN and make sure it's not the same.

If you want, try ordering it from either Clair Parts Express(ask for
Mac) or Carlsen Audi(ask for Didi)...whichever is closer to
you(Clair=MA, Carlsen=CA.)  Either one should be able to help you,
and chances are the price will be a whole lot better.  Both offer a
discount, be sure to mention you're from "the quattro list."

Nope, no particular reason you should.
