Looks great, how do you keep that gloss black looking good? Our car is an S-line with aluminium in that section which is pretty easy to look after.

Well, I've only had it for less than a month, so I haven't had a chance to screw it up yet.
I try just not to touch it.

As far as the ebay vendor, if it is factory parts, that is a really good deal. When I ordered my Q7, I ordered it with the grey walnut however the dealership screwed up and ordered the layered wood by mistake. They offered to swap out the trim or credit me back the cost of the trim and labor. The cost for the grey wood trim without labor was about $1600-1700 (woof).

The swap was super easy with a little patience.

And now, some photos...Sorry for the sideways pic
looks awesome mate. I'm in the process of doing something similar.

I have a buddy in Europe who works for a VW/Audi dealership.
If you don mind me asking, what did the parts run you?

It sounds a little crazy, but my buddy hasn't gotten me the bill yet, so I can't answer that.
He promised I'd get a break, though.

How did you get the dash and center console pieces off?

Here are some pictures. I wish I would have taken some of the disassembly. The yellow line show where the 8mm bolts are. They are accessible through the glove box and under the steering column. The red lines are screws to be removed. It was a very easy job once you see how it is put together. I did not have any manual, but looked at the new parts to see where they were attached. It took me about 2 hours. If I had to do it again, it would take 30 min.

Did you need to take out the whole shifter assembly to put in that trim piece?

Yes. When you remove the leather top of the shifter it reveals a bolt that you must remove. Undo this then carefully remove the trim part that houses the D,R,N etc and it will all just lift out
