[urq] What is everyone's opinion about Audi's parts house, cleaning?

[brady zq]

This really sucks!

Assuming we're not all over-reacting and that it will all turn out peachy, 
then this is really disappointing and maddening.

I am very proud to have "discovered" what a cool car the urq is, and am 
happy to talk with anyone who asks about its history. Unfortunately for 
Audi, I will probably also add that these cars will slowly disappear now 
that Audi is no longer supporting their all-time flaghip upon which they 
rebuilt their entire reputation.

And people will likely ask, because I may very well remove my grill emblem 
and cover the rings on the doors as well as the trunklid decals. Big black 
rectangles on the doors will probably elicit a question from the  curious. 
Those who don't ask probably think the car is a Scirocco with a body kit 
anyways.

Ironically, this type of tactic might work best at an Audi show. And Audi 
owners who don't have the rings on their cars can still debadge and "cover" 
the non-existant door rings anyways as a show of support.

waddaya think?
