Door Alcantara Trim
 

Does anyone know whether the Alcantara section of a door can be replaced/swapped between cars? I am looking to replace my door cards, but I want to keep my alcantara trim.

Its all one piece as far as Audi is concerned so you would probably need the services of a car trimmer to remove it from the old panel and re-apply it to the new one, or to match the existing green alcantara

Damn. I wanted to keep the nice green alcantara that I have in mine rather than convert to black Alcantara. ooh, those second thoughts on having new door cards are creeping in.......

Grrrrrr

I best choose whether the . upgrade is worth it then.

I think that the green alcantara on the door cards really contributes to the overall look too, it just wouldnt look the same without those panels :love:

That`s it, make it harder to choose....


I have the option for some full leather door cards, which would make everything except the upper dash and door tops leather.

another vote for keeping the green+++

Can you just buy some in the right colour and get a trimmer to fit it.

Having had my (admittedly D2) cards off the alcantara does only seem to be glued in place!

Well, rightly or wrongly, I decided not to upgrade to full leather doors and under dash as I did not want to risk the Exclusive inserts in my doors. I will just stick with the leather handles.

I think that the item that I will still try to change is to the S8 pockets so I can have the aluminium trim.

Is there a trick to removing the top wood trims as I cannot afford to damage mine as they are not walnut and cannot be replaced easily. I can see that the trim is pulled off in areas, but has a slider on one end. I will be removing all 4 doors, so are they all the same too?

Any help would be very useful.
