It is. AKA "Ebony Black Pearl" I believe, as you mentioned earlier.

Glad you (well, MJ) found some suitable replacement panels

That doesn't look undriveable, or even not safe, so why not still use it?

My son's (now-replaced) S4 had very similar damage and was driven round for ages before getting fixed, largely because the door blades (one was pretty much ripped off and destroyed) were (to quote MJ) non-obtanium! However I managed to source him one from Audi Tradition via a German parts supplier.

Of course an S4 is steel not aluminium and his damage was at the rear (door and wheel arch) but it got repaired by conventional means, I think without new panels.

You'll need a set of door card clips too as they will break when the door card comes off.

Can't think of anything else consumable in the door, although a touch-up pen might be handy for the visible wing bolts as paint will likely chip when they are removed and replaced. Or use some of those D3 bolt covers that Sergey found.

I’m planning on a paint job for both wings, bonnet and front bumper once rhe panels are replaced.

I must have missed Sergey’s D3 bolt covers - is it on here somewhere?

As for driving it, I’m embarrassed about driving such a great car being in that state!

What about that little itty-bitty clip that secures the bowden cable to the interior door handle. Not exactly a consumable, but very easy to drop and lose. You did some bright 3D printed versions.

Really sorry to hear this Jim,
I guess you're lucky that a). those panels are bolt on and. b). that PMS have them in your colour.
