Default New brightwork.

I parked next to a newer Q5 the other day and the new brightwork really stood out. And not really in a good way imho. The chrome on the door handles and especially on the bottom of the rear lift gate were really garish. Are those chrome pieces removable?

Really glad I got a 2013 if they are not.

+1, I totally agree with you on that. I really hate those chrome handles. I think the only way to not them from the factory is to get the black optic package.

When I traded my '13 for the '15, I was surprised to see the chrome on the door handles and lift gate too. My new one is Daytona Gray so the chrome looks fine to me, while it would have really stood out on my old Phantom Black. That's on the 3.0T, which doesn't have chrome along the rocker panel.
