Default Arm Rest/Door Pulls

Does anyone know where you can get leather door pulls and armrests for the nougat interior? The plastic bothers me.

Thanks!

I'm guessing he saw that post but since the armrest is black, he's searching for nougat brown. I searched around too but couldn't find any on eBay yet!!!

The plastic doesn't really bother me since it is the same color... and I leased the car. ;-)

FYI, I got my leather armrest and console trim from this seller on ebay.de.

He's pretty good, I bought my power folding mirror for B8.5 from him before. They are all used, but quality are quite good. Keep an eye out on new items from him.

Yeah i saw the Black ones and thought I'd like the brown in leather. That said, I leased it too, so why change it?

Thanks for bringing it back down to reality. I just can't leave anything alone!

I wish that Audi would offer a "leather package" as I think that would be a huge upgrade for the cars. Having said that, I would agree - why do it on a leased car? Besides and I could be off base here, but wouldn't/couldn't you be charged a fee at lease end for that modification to the car?

So does the fact that these parts exist on ebay mean you can get them in leather in other countries ? That was one of the detractors in getting this car as I really liked the stitched leather I had everywhere in my Cadillac

Yes. You will be fined if you do mods and leave it on the car when you return it. So ideally take it off and resell it.

And yes. Looks like the A4 in Europe comes with leather armrests. I'm guessing though because how else would one explain the presence of leather door armrests abroad?

Actually, the stitching seems to be available only on the allroad A4 version; which is annoying because I guess Audi sees the "allroad" as superior to the sedan. Not surprising since the allroads are so popular in Europe.

But its still not fair that they have such differences between the same A4.

The allroad even has the silver/metal spoke on their steering wheel which makes it look a tad more premium. The door trims also have the "alcantara"-like material on them too!

So that leather armrest definitely came from an allroad.
