A few weeks ago I <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/threads/378986.phtml">installed a Clarion multimedia head-unit in my TT</a>, but since the stock radio in the TT is a little wider than the standard DIN size, there were small gaps on each side of the new head-unit:

So I started looking for ways to fill these gaps with something that would look flush.
Apparently, Europeans can order their TT's without ANY radio, and in these cases Audi ships the cars with a cover that includes the following pieces:

The two pieces circled in red above are what I was looking for. Their Audi P/N are "8LO 035 467" and "8LO 035 468", however when I called my dealer to order them, they quoted.. $40 EACH!!!

Luckily, a French TT'er whom you may know from this forum (Philippe aka RSpiriTT), who also acquired me &amp; some of you my <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1018297.phtml">aluminum paddles</a>, kindly offered to send me his 2 pieces through another friend of mine from Paris.

Long story short, I finally installed them today - RESULT:

A little better, isn't it..
THANKS A LOT PHILIPPE!!! you're the best :-)

BTW the car was stopped while the movie was playing, and no I don't watch TV while driving!

 

Nice and clean.

 

Well worth the trouble Marc....perfect.

 

That (&amp; the price) is what keeps me away from the in dash DVD stuff.

 

Wonder if that would work on the kenwood kvt 815 im looking at

 

but it's still somewhat expensive, and it's a Kenwood (not a big fan of the brand..)
