Add More Style and Protection and Audi Floor Mat

September 22, 2007

Car accessories add a welcome bit of thrill and excitement to the experience of owning an Audi car model. Lots of Audi accessories are available in the market, designed to enhance style and improve performance. Among these are the Audi grille and the Audi floor mats. The Audi grille is commonly recognized as the opening at the front of a vehicle through which air is allowed to enter. The air flows through the grille into the radiator compartment to ultimately cool the engine. The grille also helps protect the radiator, the front mount intercooler as well as other engine components against air drafts, water and grimy elements, in one form or another. However, the grille is not limited to these functions since it also provides quite stylish addition to one's car.

A grille often comes with grille inserts made of metal or plastic inserts. Aside from grille inserts traditionally mounted inside a car’s grille, grille guards may also be expected. These are the tubular or aluminum protector secured by the front end of a car, specifically designed to safeguard the grilles. An Audi grille may come in different sizes, colors, designs, makes and finishes. In a similar manner, a custom grille insert is also available in various stylish designs great for adding that personal touch to one's car. Among the more popular types of custom grille inserts available today are the billet grilles. As for other Audi accessories, the Audi floor mat must not be forgotten. A recent investigation revealed that having the wrong floor mat within a vehicle poses a possible risks. According to the said investigation of Transport Canada, sudden vehicle accelerations and stuck throttles often result from interference between the vehicle floor mats and the pedals.

Typically, the interference occurs when non-original equipment floor mats are employed without properly being secured to the floor of the vehicle. The Audi floor mat may then find its way under the driver’s feet and get stuck either between, on top and under the pedals. Another common problem that plagues consumers when they set out to put multiple floor mats on top of each other is that they reduce the clearance between the vehicle floor and the pedals. Thus, having floor mats that fit is important and choices must be considered with caution. In this case, Audi floor mats are among a breed of floor mats designed to match vehicle specs and thus, ensures a comfortable and precise fit. Audi floor mats are especially engineered to endure all weather applications in order to give the most effective protection from om mud, rain and snow that can potentially damage the vehicle's floor. Most Audi floor mats nowadays are made of rubber, which has proven to be the most durable material for floor mats. These floor mats contour themselves to the shape the car's floor to ensure proper fit and comfort.
