I have a scuba blue A4 Avant with the windows tinted and the chrome just doesn't suit it much at all. I've been shopping for dechroming quotes and think I might bite the bullet if I can get it down to £150.
The roof rails are also chrome though. (Not sure these are actually called rails, but the two silver strips along the top). Thinking about doing those too, but maybe it's simpler to just replace those. I understand people wrap window sills as they're hard to replace, but roof rails might be easier?
Also is it really worth dechroming the sills? Will it last long.. I don't wind windows up and down often, but maybe the car wash would trash it fast.
This looks similar to my car, so you can see the chrome rails I mean:
