Default Chrome trim around windows ?

I haven't been around in a long time, but I'm looking at re-joining the B5 world.
I'm looking at a 97 Santorin blue A4TQM.
It has the black trim around the windows.
I think the chrome trim around the windows looks great, especially on darker cars.

Is it retro-fittable? And is it available new at a reasonable price?

Thanks!

Default Chrome trim came on the 2.8L cars. Not sure about the price and what not, but

you could check with Carson @ Riverside.

from what I hear you might be better of just buying doors, etc. Rails shouldn't be too bad though...

Default Read this thread started by me and reconsider it

Personally, I dislike chrome trim. Makes the car look contrived, even tacky, trying to be higher class than it really is.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/2810077.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/2810077.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default do you know what?

....you are wrong!

Best on a sliver Avant with silver swings/wheels and silver rails.....not an opinion either =)


P.S. actually your car could be one of the few that look best with the black trim.
