Its not recommended by Thule themselves but surely you can get one of those basic 'clip on boot lid with the tightening straps' to fit?

 

I also looked into seasucker when they arrived here, but they were catastrophically expensive.

I use a Saris Bones on my Porsche Boxster occasionally - it's fine for a road bike but an MTB sits too low. Have put two road bikes on once but I do not recommend that at all. 

 

The straps clip into top edge of boot, then in wheel well (there's a small hole) and teh bottom ones clip on the exhaust bracket. This may work for you, depending on the Audi's bumpers etc. You don't want to clip anything onto plastic.

 

The SeaSucker would work the best but as mentioned is very expensive in SA.

Theres another brand called Treefrog.

 

Still pricey but less than Seasucker.

 

Also, Token Cycling has specials on SS at the moment have a look.

Wasn't complaining at all. My suggestion was for the OP. The SeaSucker doesn't work on the Boxster as it has no roof, but it might work on the Audi.
