I kinda of like the brushed alu look on the car and was wondering if anyone has fitted such a part on the B6?

Are you refering to the sills at the bottom of the doors or the belt trim?
The bottom sills are a dark colored plastic that without paint look like the european version of our cars. The plastic is identical in color to the valence in the rear between the exhausts.
I broke one of them when driving in an ice storm last Jan and had to replace it, so got to see the raw pieces before repainting them....

Well - that means anything you want to have as a finish on them is gonna have to be an applique
over plastic. That does introduce a prospect of a finish that can be chipped or damaged as opposed to a surface finish technique on a solid metal.
I like the look of the sills on the AllRoad, but after hearing a quote of $37 to paint them went for the cheap out instead of some type of plating.
Have you thought about the European look with no paint/plating at all? Look for the picture poster for an AW member named BigBottleBob.....
