quick question...........

Was reading the post by spooledafour about side skirts fitting with the rubber lower parts of the doors and got worried.

Ive ordered the Reiger infinity skirts and now am panicing that the doors wont shut or something stupid like that?!

Please give me an answer as to whether ill have to modify the door rubbers!

Oh, and yes i know about trim guard, but we dont get it in England- and finding a S4 in a scrap yard to nick the trim off, is like finding a ***** in the Vatican!!

it used to be there. Call them and see if they have any in stock, it used to be on the website.

my dealership want about $500 for the genuine trim.

When you say cut the rubber- how easy is it to cut? and then most importantly how easy is it to get a straight cut?!

Off course...this is the most expensive part of the S4 sides...

Because of the cost of those S4 side pieces a lot of people have gone the trim guard route...

Cutting the stock trim is easy enough if you want to go that route...

That's what did on my former car before and it worked out fine, but my car was a dark colour...on a bright colour the contrast may not be the look u want...

U may get the idea from this...

Most of the time you are better getting parts from your local dealer if OEM, just use a Audi club discount if you can...with clair parts you pay for shipping...
