Let us know how you get on, I woudl be particularly interested in how you get on with yoru windscreen surreound as mine has a minor scrape and I wouldnt mind replacing it if possible.
You can get new surrounds mate,You would just have to pay a window company to refit it
These are water deflectors and can be easily replaced without touching the windscreen. My RS4 was in for a service when they noticed one was missing (nicked!). Cost about £7 to replace.

..yeah but can you be sure they'll have done the work as well as the factory?
for example putting the front bumper on correctly..

Thanks for the posts guys.

I can assure you the rest of the car is exactly as I want it. If it wasn't, I wouldn't accept the car, as I'm already pointing out everything to them that I'm not happy with.

Very happy with the rest of the car. For example, you would never know anyone has ever sat in the seats (buckets) and mechanically the car is great. I have had this checked by my trusted mechanic up on the ramps and a proper test drive ;)

Car gets collected tomorrow from me in Aberdeen and is taken to Huddersfield via flatbed. They're giving me an A4 of some kind in the mean time.

Will update this to give an idea of the level of service I receive. Can only be better than Aberdeen Audi surely :)

Gold!

That will be on the list when it goes in for an MOT.

Just to clarify this is the piece of black trim that sits proud of the windscreen and there is one either side of the windscreen and they start at the bonnet and stop at the roof?
