door panel trim on handle / window switches

[topcyclist]

Hi , I have a last edition 2002 model S8 with the light mushroom trim . The panels onth etop of the handle that extend down to the window switches have scuffed up badly and lost the surface covering . Is it possible to replace or use a wood trim ?

Thanks ,steve

Jeremy did his with some pretty cool carbon fibre sticky stuff, in fact he did all of his wood

Hi , yes saw that was looking at it last night , looks great but doubt it would go with my colour interior ... but has got me thinking though ...

Someone else replaced them recently on here too I am sure, think it might have been Jayzee?

cheers

Did you ask A8 Parts if they had a replacement?

Yes, it was me :)

I only replaced the front ones, but when I ordered new ones from Audi, I was given a choice of wood ones to match the rest of the interior.

I figured they would last longer than the standard rubber coated ones, so went with them. Unfortunately, the match to the rest of my wood trim isn't too clever. I still prefer them to the rubber ones though.

Have a look at the thread here...
