Dave,
Will post some pics for you at the weekend when I've given it it's waxing etc.
But basically I had the same trouble as you with the dealer initially saying they don't fit, but thanks to them seeing a pic of wish's car and a quick phone call to Audi technical and they sorted it.
Basically the existing pipes have a cover over them (you'll see that if you look at yours) and what they have to do first is remove the welds holding those covers in place. Once those are removed the straight chrome extensions will slide over the smaller inner pipe and then they are held in place by allen key blots which tighten onto the pipe (apparently it is advised that you should get these retightened after 1000 miles). I don't think they've had to cut the pipes at all as you can see the old pipes pointing down within the extensions (the pics will show this in more detail at the weekend).
And that's it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif, they should actually fit flush with the end of the bodykit but because the diesel pipes are shorter than the FSI ones they are set back a little bit, but they look better than standard IMHO /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
