New Rs4 owner here

Couple of questions,

1. just wanting to tidy up a few scratches on the lower exterior door trim (seems to be plastic)

Are these cheap enough to replace or just have them repainted?

2. The electric switches on the bucket seats, are these screwed/clipped in as one of mines a bit loose and doesn't sit properly?

Thanks!

Not sure about question 2 but for question 1 mine cost £74 each side from Audi and then had to be sprayed as well.

Mine had started to debond and seperate. They are held on by screws easily visible from the inside of the door.

i noticed the screws last night as i was sound deadening my doors. But i don't remember any screw holes on the outside? Are they maybe clips rather than screws?

Hehe, the Rumore getting a bit too loud for you?!!

Wow 74 squids for a plastic seat surround

would have thought they come in black anyway?

Its the first switch on the seat on the left, so presuming its that plastic surround that needs replacing if the clip is loose?

When he said £74 he was talking about the door trim not the seat trim, hence why it needs painting.

Ah, is it the trim right at the bottom of the door you are after? I thought you was after the plastic halfway up that stops you dinging the door on other cars?

LOL, no I have been meaning to do it for ages as part of the stereo upgrades. I finished work early yesterday so stuck the car in the garage and starting stripping the doors down again and deadening them to stop them rattling.

I am also planning on doing the boot as it is already half stripped out. That is where all the sound from the exhaust comes from surprisingly. Not much through the doors but it sounds like the tailpipes have been moved into the boot and someone has dropped the seats (although I have removed the ski hatch and replaced it with acoustically transparent material to get the bass in.
