I'm an AB resident. So no HST for me.

Oh, just noticed you're from Airdrie. Prodbably the same out of province process to avoid the HST as the previous PST.

Yes. Good to hear though because we got a very good deal in Victoria.....both Calgary dealers could care less as far as pricing.

In Canada with Sline we only get the 20" wheels. You're lucky you get the 19" down in the US. This way you're not forced to buy winter tires.

2010 Premium in Lava Grey

Tech
Nav
B&O
Drive Select

Absolutely loving it so far!
You can easily remove the licensee plate bracket from the front (2 screws) you'll get the nice European look when you do. The bracket is an extra section they add on to places that need front plate. I learned this when I changed my grill from non S to S line. Had to pay an extra 100 bux for it

Wow, thanks for the info. I thought that they actually replaced the frame holder with the blank one. Was gonna take it to the dealership next week to have them swap it out. I guess I can just do it myself.

It doesn't leave 2 screw holes in the blank one underneath, does it?

You go to dealer for a 5 minute job you get charged by the hour .

It's an additional bracket that sits on top of the original grill (so 2 sections) 1 is the grill itself and 1 is the license plate bracket.

Once you unscrew it slides right off then you get the nice clean look under it. All Canadian car models and some American ones get shipped with this by default.

Two questions: Where can you get a nice Euro plate online? Secondly does any one need the front plate holder as we took ours off not needing one here in Alberta?

For Euro plates check up ebay. To sell the adapter, hit up ebay and/or Kijiji.

Hey Leftarm,

Just wondering what Turner Audi gave you as a discount off MSRP on your Q5 or did they just give you the audi care for free.

I'm looking at getting a Q5 from them and wondering what kind of discount to expect.

Thanks
