I've seen the A6 units before and others like it.
The A4 B6 guys bought them before for their motors but had issues with the quality of the internals and they would fail but they swapped the caps over and it looks spot on.

A lot of money for them.
Would be nice if they was cheaper though.


I do like that mirror switch.
Gloss would go with the trim but I prefer the standard matt.

Yeah, it is a lot of money, mainly because all switches are brand new plus there are two we don't need, parking brake and lights.

Black matt is 20quid so not that bad.

My chrome light switch was dispatched this morning, can't wait for this chrome knob

I looked at the mirror switch, or knob , once again and it may look a bit odd with window buttons being not chromed as the only chromed bit on the door cards is the door handle...hmmm...

Did any other Audi or VAG cars come with chrome widow switches?

A chrome mirror rotary switch doesn't look too much out of place next to normal mirror button.

Not sure to be honest, will have to do some digging.

Checked few Patheons and no chrome on switches, found 2009 CC with chrome http://www.thetorquereport.com/2009_vw_passat_cc_16.jpg

You are right Matt, it really doesn't look that bad, but steering wheel chromed buttons look even better, I like that a lot, but over £100 for it, hmm, will have to think about that few times
Ohhh and chromed door pockets

The gear stick has extra chrome bits on it as well.

It does look ok but the chrome tips on the window switches would be a nice little extra touch I think.


Chrome door pockets are lovely and the steering wheel buttons.
