If they fire up the 3d printer for miniature urqs d'ya think they could run off 
a few sun visor clips while they're at it?

with plenty more info available at the touch of a Google search.

thought I might inquire, though not sure where, of the powers that be, if any of 
these minis might be made available for semi public consumption, i.e. us.  I 
figured since CAD CAM programs are made, and the tooling exists, why not try and 
persuade Audi to expand the production run for the torch carrying, knuckle 
busters among us.  While there has not been a lot, OK any, support in the 
obsolete parts department I've never seen a complaint that accused Audi of not 
knowing how to make a buck.

billet miniature and I doubt I'd consider even a fraction of that for one of my 
own, but maybe a plastic one?  With the program these would also be pretty easy 
to 3DP should we be able to get Audi of the mind.  So what say you?
