I'm reassembling my C6 and my next step is putting back on the radiator support. The support has some sort of foam lining on each side, it almost looks like weather-stripping. Its really worn out. So, I'd like to replace it.
There are two such foam strips. Here's a pic of the support before I took them off:

And here is a close-up of the material:

However, I'm having trouble locating the part, if there even is such a part (I really, really hope it's not something that simply comes with the radiator support and that's the only way to get an "official" replacement). Here's what I've come up with so far:
Here's the part on Audi's store: https://parts.audiusa.com/p/Audi_200...4F0121221.html
However, I'm not convinced this is it. First of all, there are two such foam strips, and the diagram only shows one. Maybe you're supposed to infer that you can use the same part for both sides, but their shapes are such that they don't really seem like you'd be altering their natural shape to fit into place. that's not really Audi's style.
So, I'm not sure if I've found the right part and I just need to sort of shoehorn it into place on both sides, or if I'm not looking at the right part.
I'll admit, I've been tempted to use some regular weather stripping foam, but I imagine this application requires some sort of heat tolerance considering its position, so I hesitate to "DIY" a solution not involving an OEM part.
