Speak to nickwigan - I think he wants to change from Piano Black to Carbon...

[rtd]

just out of interest does anyone know how much it would cost do buy the trim directly from a stealer?

[Virdee Autos]

VERY expensive, without talking figures!

[rtd]

OK! So back to original Q, anybody wanna swap?

[rtd]

Virdee are we talking £££s or ££££s?

[Virdee Autos]

I woul have thought it will more than likely roll into the ££££, and very unlikely stay in the 100's if you include all the parts.

Yep pretty costly from what I hear, not a fan of the Piano Black, makes the interior look dull imo.

The same thing did cross my mind when I bought mine, as I like the piano black in our S3 - however, the Carbon seems to suit the RS.

Vagparts could probably give you a price.

[rhunter203]

The price is around £650 from VAGparts.

i rang vagparts and was quoted £850-ish.......

swaps i think is the only option!

Try this link. In Germany but they don't weigh much so postage should be cheap enough.

i've swapped trim between 2 cars and it takes around 1.5 hours - just have some proper tools for getting the spring clips off so you can reuse them - and be careful with the big dash piece. the ashtray requires the the stereo and heater controls to come out.
