I thought the full length ones listed here work as its the same MQB set-up....????
Nope. MBQ has nothing to do with it. Only the type of subframe matters.

That's what I'm wondering... the only reason I can see for it to not fit is a possible absence of mounting screw holes? I don't have the a3/s3 subframe yet, but it would be a bit of a nuisance to set up an undertray now, and have to redo it later down the road...
& both fit the Golf & have the same mounting points etc.....please explain why the full length won't fit the alu Audi subframe?..
Do yourself a favor and try to put the S3 aluminum skid tray on your golf. Both subframes obviously bolt to the chassis but have mounting holes for the skid trays in different places.
Again, I'm speaking about the metal skid tray not working on the Golf. If that tray is only for the A3 cab, then I'm mistaken about the aluminum subframe. My understanding was that the metal tray was used by all of the A3 variants. It absolutely will not bolt to the Golf subframe.
^^^ That’s good info. I mistakenly thought that the aluminum skid plate mated with the aluminum subframe. I didn’t know that the convertibles got their own subframes that are different from the rest.
The only downside to the plastic skid tray (which I’ve been rocking for years thanks to golfdave) is the incompatibility with FMICs. I was hoping that the metal skid plate would be the perfect compromise but, as stated above, it doesn’t fit with the golf subframe.
I paid around $100 on ebay over a year ago.Just wondering where US based people are buying the 3Q0825902 or equivalent skid plate from? Everywhere I've looked it's 3-400$, is that the going rate now?

237 euros from e-acca.Just wondering where US based people are buying the 3Q0825902 or equivalent skid plate from? Everywhere I've looked it's 3-400$, is that the going rate now?
Aero tray for 47 euros from e-acca. That's where i got mine.I saw that deal in this thread but it doesn't seem to be available anymore. You guys got a great deal!
I did find the "aero" one , 5Q0825236Q, for $100 shipped on ebay. I might just go for that if I can't find the other one for $200 or under.
Either way, I'm glad I found this thread, thanks golfdave! I'm not really into modding but this one is a no brainer, in my opinion.
