Side window trim - Chrome / Black

[andyj]

Does anyone know if any of the Exeo specs, comes with black side window trims?

Mine's the Sport, and it's got a Chrome trim all the way around the side windows.

Been having a chat this evening with a few of the lads at the Monthly Derby meet, and we've decided that black trims would suit the car alot better than the chrome.

Any thoughts?

The other option would be to paint/wrap the chrome ones in black paint/vinyl.

Hi Andy,

Not 100% sure on this but I'd say they are all chromed out. Didn't particularly like this on taking delivery of the car as on the rear side windows on the drivers side the chrome trim seemed to be a bit loose; there is a bit of movement in the trim, which didn't quite smack of good build quality. It's fine I guess, it just wasn't perfect.

Had a brainwave this morning, I wonder if the A4 'trim' is the same profile, i.e. would it fit the Exeo? and if so, is the a black trim avaialble for the A4 ??

I'm off to Autotrader, to have a look at pics of B7 A4's

Looks like the A4 does come with black trim....

Or it might just be no trim fitted at all.....

Reading on ASN (audi-sport.net) it appears that there was a 'black pack' available for the A4.

Also, 1 guy has covered his in black tape....

Did you ever get any further with the black trim... Thinking the same, dechrome around the windows and on the front grill also.... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The trim is a permanent fixture, and is very difficult and costly to replace

Alot of the A4 guys on audi-sport.net have used black (or carbon fibre effect) vinyl to cover the chrome trim.

Will find a couple of threads tomorrow and post the links on here.

I've just re-read this thread, and realised I've already provided a link!

Doesn't the "S" spec come with black window surrounds?
