Default Herrington's License Vault??

Hi All,

I finally got my custom plate and figured it was
a good time to get rid of the dealer frame the car
came with. So, for now, I just took it off, but
I'm looking for alternatives. I've seen the Becart
frames and they're pretty cool, but at $95 a bit
(a bit!?) pricey!

I found a couple at Herrington's that look nice.
First, the simple Concours frame for about $35
to compare nicely with Audi's standard line, but
then there's the "License Vault" which looks
a bit heavier and has a glass cover to keep the
plate looking nice and the whole thing shiny.
Seems like it might be a nice touch. It's $50.

Here's the URL:
<A HREF="http://store.yahoo.com/herrington-catalog/ms122.html#">Licence Vault</A>.

Has anyone tried this? It looks VERY beefy, though it's
polished chrome and I was leaning towards the
brushed look (although the chrome might look nice
given the chrome Audi rings above) and it has a
nice tempered glass cover which I think will
really make the plate look great.

Question though: it comes with a "unique stainless
steel fastners" and one look at the photo shows
the mounting holes are not in the standard place.
Anyone know how this system works and if it will
work on a TT?

Thanks!

Default I have it.. Looks great..nice and heavy..good quality

Chrome looks great with the chrome accents on the back of the TT (rings, tips).

It is 2 pieces. Backing plate mounts like a regular plate..then the frame goes on this..then the outer frame mounts on the backing plate with very tiny allen screws. There is a weather tight gasket around it too.

I have a pic on it on my site.<ul><li><a href="http://www.geocities.com/my_skylark/mills_tt_mod_page.htm">http://www.geocities.com/my_skylark/mills_tt_mod_page.htm</a</li></ul>
