Could you remove the chrome trim that I have highlighted below and still drive the car or is it part of the window/door seals?

Thanks peoples. I'll try and ask less questions once I know more about the b7

I’m no help but would also like to know if it can be removed without leaving gaps etc as I hate mine.

I believe its rivet on so to remove is a massive job most just have it wrapped or painted in place

Being a painter id advise against painting them, if you cant get them off without it being a ball ache you wont get the paint round the edges enough let alone being able to key it up enough for the paint to stick without using a roll of duct tape to prevent accidentally damaging the bits you want to keep shiny.

id say get them wrapped it will probably last longer if you use a good company as a pressure washer will end up taking the paint off eventually especially if you clean it often, i did the chrome on my old benz and i thought i did a good job or as good as i could being on the car i used a plastic primer, etch and 2 pack paint to be on the safe side and it lasted a year and looked terrible and caused myself more work to get it back to original.
 
A wrap sounds like the ideal solution

The door weather strips have clips on the inside, and the frames need to be removed to gain access.

I believe the upper trim is riveted from the inside and the small section beneath the rear 1/4 glass simply unclips from the outside.

A stupid way of fixing them but i guess thats just Audi for you!

Best option is to have them wrapped although not a permanent fix, over time you may have lifting issues.
