I have a 3dr with brushed alu trim, but i feel like a swap to piano.
thought it'd be a good excuse to get other ppl's opinions on the matter!

Swap with my Piano trim
I may take you up on that, but i'm still in the process of deciding myself lol
Whats yr/ mileage/ condition of trim?
TBH I have never seen this talked about Alu trim
Pics?Happy to swap subject to liking.
I would only go for Piano, looks classy. There is nothing else brushed ally in the car and i always think it looks a bit odd !! Very Vauxhall ish
Thats that then!
For that reason....Im out!

Some 'piano' cars I've seen, the interior trim panels look finger printy / dusty / smeary / scratched. I like it (when new / clean), but for the reason the alu is so easy to live with I'm happy with it.
At least the alu in Audi's feels metal-ish, unlike that cheap scratchable plastic tat they put in Vauxhalls.

I too can't decide whether I prefer piano or brushed alu, so think I'm going to do driver's door piano and passenger's door alu. Or vice versa.
I'm different like that.

Alu trim for me... The piano leaves finger prints all over it. The Alu breaks up the interior a bit too...

Yep. I've had 2 cars with piano black and while it looks nice it does scratch extremely easily and is a ****** to keep clean. Dust within a day!
You clean more=more scratches even if using microfibre cloths.

I tried to opt for Alu on my Black Edition that I have on order and Audi have told me I can't. You can upgrade on an S-Line to Piano Black but on a Black Edition you can't downgrade... Apparently he couldn't even put an order through with the Alu order code. Is there anything I can do? Has anyone else had the same problem?

Haha Phil not happy about that Rye lol! How much do the TTS seats go for Phil? They seem to be alot more rare than the S3 and RS4 buckets
i don't understand how ppl have destroyed theirs either.
my old 1.6 Sport had the gloss trim (not quite piano black, but nearly) and that wasn't scratched at all. and i ABUSED that car...
