You can also use urs tanks. I have one in my 4k. One tab hole is off but you just put the same screw down through the tab into the mounting bracket on the body. Works great.

Dang, the OEM pieces have sky rocketed in price. I had bought a few 2-3 years ago at 40 bucks a pop. They are almost 100 bucks at the dealership now! 857121403

Thanks guys! MHCAudi200t, thanks for posting up pictures man! I think I'm going to hold out for a new one. Mean time, I think I will either fit the URS4 one or 200 one.

Those don't look like 200/5000 tanks. Those look like they're for a c4 100 or something.
