It sounds like all the ones they can see are for pre-facelift cars

I would ring Audi or TPS and quote your registration, ask for a part number and price for the screen and pass that along to the glass folk

If I remember correctly the reflective glass was only fitted on PF so you won't get around the mirror mount issue, plus it blocks GPS and mobile signals.

The standard glass will be coloured, but it's virtually impossible to tell what colour unless it's broken. You can try holding a nice bright/white piece of paper against the glass on one side and can then usually tell if it's a green or bronze tint

Read various nightmare stories about windscreen fitting and make sure they use the correct thickness material between the glass and the body to avoid squeaks! Also take before pics of your A pillar trims as they're not unknown to manage to cut through the material as they remove the old screen....
