Had no problem the other day, but this is what I got today, the parts, no picture.

Either way, I think they offer some more protection, look nice are not terribly priced, so I am thinking of ordering a set.

Same for me. Pictures in the brochure, but when you go to Audi Parts, no pic. They look good in the brochure. On another note what do you think of wind deflectors? Found some on Weather Tech for front windows only, and unable to find anything for the sunroof.

Wind deflectors? I've seen them on plenty of cars, but never had them. Maybe someone who has bought them can add their opinions?

Are they the same color as the wheel well cladding? It looks different in photos.

They could be. It's hard for me to see that much difference under the car. You may have more discerning eyes then I. I guess the best thing to do would be go to a dealer that has them and compare for yourself. I would hate for you to order them based on my opinion and be disappointed. Not much help I know.

Well I was expecting them to be designed differently than that. Instead, they seem like they were just carved out of a 2x6 block.

I was going to order them, but I am no longer doing that.

Anyway, your car looks great. Good choice by you, and Audi did good as well in updating the allroad. Your photos really show the details of the lower vehicle well. Great wheels.

I have a set on order. They do seem to be a little shorter than most others I've seen, but I don't think they look bad at all. But they will provide some protection, nonetheless. They may or may not be a slightly different shade of grey, but I'm going to put a coating on them anyhow, so should make them a more even match, but again, it's on the very bottom of the car and will get the most, dust and dirt anyhow.

I have then on my B8.5 Allroad, and they're great. In person, they don't look as though they're 'carved out of a block' at all. They are quite discreet and offer considerable protection.

In your case, I'd recommend you order the ones with the 'INV' prefix to the part number. I think you'll be delighted with those, though installation requires a bit more care. The prefix stands for 'Invisible' - that's probably much closer to the look you're going for.
