The picture from EKTA suggests its just a pop off item. You could always just pull it off and see what happens! If successful let us know as I am in the same boat.

I think you have 2 choices. Get one from A8Parts and repair/respray or new from Audi.

The unit is fine but the chrome cover is scratched badly - searched and searched on-line with no luck (also tried A8 parts but no luck), so any help appreciated (along with clues of how to replace - I'm a complete novice to the world of DIY car repair!!)

There is how-to here.
