And here is mine.

I've scratched mine too. But Audi insist they come in primer and need painting.

Thanks for that. I thought I was going mad.

So are they painted? Because mine look like they are grey rubber. The new ones from Audi come as primer.

I've just been reading a post in the detailing section about S3 trim. Can anyone tell me what colour this was when the car came from the factory. I have a metallic black car but the lower door trim, rear bumper insert and trim around the fogs is a dark grey on my car. Was this black originally...

Why does nobody make piano black plastic versions of these? Would save us all loads of time from painting, sanding and lacquering every 6 months.

Can anyone tell me how they should be activated? i.e. headlights on and a long blast on the washers? I read somewhere on here that they came on every 4 squirts on the washer. What is the correct process to get the headlight washers to work. Cause it seems mine don't do ****.

I recently had to replace the grommet on the roof aerial. While changing things over I was a little too heavy handed with the cable connector behind the rear interior light and the cable came out of the crimped connector. As this connector had Audi printed all over it I figured I'd had to go to...

Thanks guys. So homework for tonight. I have work out: 1. What the CTS is and what it looks like? 2. What the EVAP canister is and what it looks like? 3. Which are the DV hoses? I hope I don't sound ungreatful. I'm merely highlighting I know near to nothing. G

Sorry to be dim. What is the MAF? I had thought about a vac leak but thought Audi would've checked for that first.

Had my S3 for a few months now and since I bought the car the rev counter needle rises and falls by about 50rpm while idling. I have had Audi look at it and they diagnosed the induction system needed cleaning. I had it cleaned and it seemed to make a little difference at first but now is the...

Just wanted to thank jojo for the door card removal tips. You saved me time and an ear bending from the wife. I would've been there hours trying to find the last 2 screws under the handle trim piece. And I now have the correct screws and there isn't a rattling screw coming from inside the door...

Can you explain the quick 5 minute job to get the door card off for me? Sorry for being dense!
