These door cards were replaced under warranty.
I never seen one though in reality and don’t know if they have had a separate part number.
There was no official recall to fix the flaw. Only an advice that these new door cards are available if customer complains.

Thanks for this info. Not sure what Coulsdon Audi would say if I turned up, asking for new door cards for my nigh-on 20 year old car!

I feel quite an affinity for the Murple S8 - it's almost like a sister car to mine, with extended leather door cards in a similar state. Alcantara roof too, and a number plate very close to my originally-registered plate of W208 EWL. Looks like an Oxford registration, if I'm correct.
