New door trims fitted :)

[Adrian E]

Following on from the discussion about the mismatch in interior trim colours where I posted some huge pics of my current purple painted door trims against the rest of the purple door card

I took my new trims to ADI on Saturday and begged Sergey to lend a hand getting the lower shells out of the door cards so I could swap the purple painted bits for my new dark myrtle (aka dark grey) ones.

Couple of pics of what they looked like originally - they weren't in bad condition unless you looked closely and noticed the nail marks in the plastic sections:





Offside rear all done





The grey section underneath is a match for the 'swing' grey on the top of the door, whereas the door pull area is platinum.


Front passenger door all done - this was in quite bad condition in the door pull area





The whole set of 4 came from A8 Parts naturally, but the driver's door trim is in quite a bit worse condition than the other 3 so I've decided to bite the bullet and buy a brand new one for 'my' door as it's the one I'll be seeing and using the most! The used one would annoy me quite quickly I think. Only problem is the lower shell is no longer available from Audi in Swing so I'm going to have to locate a good used one or trawl ebay auctions till a new old stock one turns up. in the meantime I'll fit the purple lower back in once the new trim arrives

Really pleased with how it looks
