Default If you want the polished black lower inlays on NWB

...you can ask the dealer swap them with the factory installed aluminum pieces. It shouldn't be hard to do. BTW, the service manager at my dealer saw the A8 preview in Germany, and he said the polished black panels look way better vs. aluminum---only downside: will easily show fingerprints.

Default I want the NWB, but...

But I might go for the LWB if I cannot get the black lower. From what I saw on line and in the PIB, I don't like the look of the aluminum. (Of course I really want to see it in person before I pull the trigger either way).
I plan to add all the packages in to get to the level of the LWB, including the leather. Plus a bunch more....but from what I saw the Aluminum cheapens the look.
