The ashtray storage insert is designed as an integral part of the Audi interior finish, maintaining the characteristic geometry and styling lines of the A3 8P model. The black colour of the housing allows for a harmonious blend with the factory upholstery and other interior trims, which is particularly important when replacing a damaged part. The construction, intended for the rear of the vehicle, guarantees a precise fit with factory mounting points and adjacent panels.
