Ari Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 The reason TT's are wrapped up like that is that they're built in some far flung place (not Germany, as you might expect from a German car, although Audi aren't alone in that), and then transported by rail from the factory on electric trains with overhead cables. Apparently the sparks or debris from the cables can shower down on the cars causing damage if they're not wrapped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lottiefox Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Wonder if mine came in one of those? Could stop defrosting the car ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 If (for some strange reason) you want to see lots of them covers then you need to go to Ingolstadt: This was April 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Lottie - people sell them on ebay but don't buy one. They'll have metal dust from the train brakes etc on them. They are really a one time use thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
