A few people have bought them off Stoke Audi. Agree they do look so much better

Looks good but I think I'll just paint or vinyl mine lol

I think the gloss looks good on the 3 door but it's a bit poorly thought out on the sportback. The fact there's a big matt rubbery bit for the windows either side of the pillar, and the rear triangle has another big rubbery strip running up behind it makes it look a bit like an after thought (probably because it is an after thought).

It is over 3 years old unfortunately.

If the 5 door is the same as the 3 door then you need to drill out the rivets that hold them in place and then put new rivets in with a rivet gun to attach the new ones.

Rivets are located behind the door seal - pull it back and you'll see them.

unfortunately mate the thread is for the 3 door model, I have the sportback, by the looks of things there different as at the bottom of the pillar trim when both doors are open I think theres some sort of weather strip over im assuming where the rivits are. Im not going to play about yet as I haven't sourced the both glossy black exterior trims yet, but defo going to do it, think it looks a lot more attractive. theres a triangle bit aswell on both rear door corners of the windows and im assuming il have to get gloss black replacements aswell for them. thanks for the help bud

Yes sorry - I thought there may have been a difference but wasn't 100% sure! Sorry I can't be more helpful than that
