Silver squares on underside of floorboard
There are a couple of silver squares glued to the underside of my C6 A6.
Do other people have these? Are they in the same location on other cars?
And lastly...what are they for?

Mine are peeling back tword the rear of the car. So I stuck them back and haven't looked since. Have no idea what they are for.

I have these silver panels as well. I would call mine more toward the rear of the car than toward the front. There's a panel on each side of the car. What's interesting on mine is that there are signatures on them and a date. I think maybe these are signatures of a few people at the factory on the day the car was built. I've forgotten now what the names are. One day, I'll have get back under there and see if I can still read the names. My car is two years old now.

After further research I have found out that they are "speed squares" They are designed to blow off at 170mph. They are there to reveal if your car has ever reached this speed or not.

When I toured the BG factory a few weeks back, I think I remember these silver foil square sticker like patches served as 'padding' for the points of contact on the conveyor/carriage system that the bodies travel on...I think they may be the spots that the body is cradled on before they meet the drive train/frame....Just a thought based upon my memory...I think!!
