[rcaro900ss at aol.com]

I would be interesed in front mats with or without the logo. Thanks for all the effort you have put in.                                         Robert

Forget Audi of America, they do not hold the rights to the trademark, it is
held by Audi AG. And their contact for license of their brands is an
attorney in Washington DC (Can't remember her name but you can look it up
through the Federal Trademark Registry. She has no say in the matter, but
you have to go through her to get to Audi AG.)  I and others have tried to
deal with Audi AG on the use of their trademark and I have seen success only
once on a temporary basis. I think your best bet is to go through Audi
Historics if you are insistent on having the Audi rings. I have seen more
than a couple of successes in going through them in getting parts that are
NLA. /s/ Peter
