OEM Audi A3 trunk mat that fits!!!

As many of you may know, I've had multiple trunk mats both OEM and aftermarket. The original 8P5-061-180 mat did not fit correctly as it was designed for the european FWD A3, which does not have the 4" lift present in the US trunk. I informed AoA of this error and they eventually released a new trunk mat, 8P5-061-181, which was a better fit, but still suffered from similar fitment issues. I then sought out Lloyd's mats, and had them make me a custom trunk mat out of their Ultimat material. Color match was excellent as well as fit and finish, but I frankly wanted a rubber mat that I could handle any snow-laden gear I throw in the trunk.

Audi has now released a new mat with the part number: ZAW380510. The mat retails for $80, and comes with a set of retaining blocks. Although it appears to be carpeted, it is a thin carpet overlaid on a plastic base. The carpet itself is close to a berber-style carpet in terms of feel and durability. The raised edges of the mat are a nice touch, but do not interfere with the cargo net hooks. Overall I am completely satisfied with this mat as it looks great and is very functional.
