Interested. Same stock build spec.

Don't have them yet. If eBay fails me, then I'll bite the bullet and get them from europrice. Next to the wheels, the stock headrests are the most annoying thing on the car to me.

I ask bc I found a VW oem parts website from over there that had em cheap as well, but can't seem to find it again. It was all in German and even hard to read with the page translated.

I'm not trying to be a copycat, but those wheels are going to look sick, and I might want to get them lol

Could I see a pic of the US headrest?

I live in Australia and picking up my car next week, curious to know what the difference is?

The US rear headrests almost COMPLETELY block rear-vision! They are clipboard moderated junk and I'd love to exchange them. Also... Matty.. these rims. Omg.. on a Nardo!!!!

Matt, I'm trying to find a cheaper source of them online versus the $700 Europrice wants. If I get some I'll let you know

Maybe we could do a group buy to get even lower pricing? I'd be down if the price is right.

I would second this, if I have my car by the time you order, should be November/December sadly, but I totally agree the US spec ones suck for visibility.

[mattvandyk]

Anyone know how to tag @Alex@Europrice?

I sent him a PM and directed him here.

It would be possible to do a group purchase in terms of discounting it looks like, as long as the USD doesn't lose even more value than it has recently.

There is one issue however, sometimes with headrests like this Audi requires VIN information, especially when the cars are currently in production as most units are being used on new builds.

I can check to see if I can gather information about inventory and potential stumbling with needing Rest of World VIN to get these in a larger quantity. I will report back to this thread with information.

Cheers,
