[urq] Fw: Audi Museum miniatures

Wed Nov 13 00:26:39 PST 2013

Seriously ???

25$ for silly pice of plastic that's not even worth 2 $
And you guy's would actually buy it .

A while back someone on this list posted a part number for IIRC a  golf2
sun visor clip . Just need to drill one extra hole for a second bolt .
Oem quality , perfect fit , avaialble new at the dealer ; and at a normal 
price .
Can't find the p/n right away , but if no one chimes in, I'll be glad to 
look it up .

Parts sharks like those guy's should be be .....
My 2c
