So here is a question that may have no known answer: Of all the members who have posted pictures of their part number labels, why is mine (Post # 90) the only one that says “Made in GERMANY?” Possibly because I have the ventilated seats?

It just seems a little odd to me.

could it be because these are from cars245 and that is how they are cheaper?

??? As they are still labeled as genuine VW / Audi parts? I wondered if it was because of the ventilated seats that I have versus the Nappa seats that are more common?
This may go down as yet another “not-so-great” mystery.
I am sure VW has suppliers across the globe, it may be just as simple as the vendor you bought your headrests from sources it from a particular wholesaler or manufacturer vs. the one that cars245 works with? Is there any difference in the leather on the headrests if you get ventilated seats? I would think the seats are perforated but the headrests would be like the rest?
I finally received my order from Cars245 and I can confirm / verify the part numbers for the following items:
Rear Euro Headrest, Black Leather + Crescendo Red Stitching (NOTE: The part number is for a single headrest so you need to order 2x)
Gloss Black Front and Rear RS5 Badges
Gloss Black Left and Right Side RS5 Wings / Vent Trim
Gloss Black Rear Rings - Sportback
You should be able to pull the part numbers from the photos below. If not let me know.
Here are part numbers for some other related items but I didn't order them to confirm / verify they are the correct ones but they should be.
Gloss Black Front Rings: 8T0853605T94
Gloss Black Rear Rings (Coupe): 8W6853742AT94
Gloss Black Rings (Front & Rear) - Sportback: ZAW098010EDSP
Gloss Black Rings (Front & Rear) - Coupe: ZAW098010DDSP
I hope this helps others looking for these parts.
Thanks that helps a lot. Now to find an place to order at best prices.

Congratulations -- I cannot wait to see the Grand Unveiling of your Custom Color RS5.

Yes will be interesting on DITY removal of the side badges. Not seen one yet.

I don't think I've heard of anyone being able to remove the existing side badges without some sort of damage to them. I had my PPF installer replace the chrome badges with the black ones and they tried heat guns and other things but ended up snapping one in half and the other got bent out of shape. In the end my goal was to replace the existing ones with the black ones so I didn't really care if the chrome ones got damaged.
Anybody have the correct part number for euro models in Black with Rock grey stitching. 2019 RS5 Black Nappa leather/Rock Grey
Anybody have the correct part number for euro models in Black with Red stitching. 2019 RS5 Sportback Black Nappa leather/Red? Non-alcantara
Also if you have the black optics package do you have to order both front fender RS5 AND black door trim for the Black RS5 badges for the cars? It looks like I only need the front fender L&R to replace my black silver RS5 side logos. Thanks
