Does anyone know if you can have the black optics pack fitted as an after market kit? minus the cans..... I like mine silver and shinny.

So front grill surround, window surrounds and boot lid lip.

cheers

Or is there anyone out there who would like to swop from Black to silver trim on a saloon?????

The grill surround you can get from vag parts

I've looked into changing the window trim and its a nightmare. I believe you would also need to replace the rear door glass windows to do this.

I think when we costed one up there was over £100 just in clips - not to mention the very physical, fiddly and time-consuming job of fitting it all (nightmare!).

I think this is one of those jobs where Audi employ some very clever trained gremlins to install the parts.

Its easier and neater to get the trim painted, in the colour of the car, without removal.
I had mine done in ebony black and looked far superior to factory satin black.
plus cheaper too

I wanted to do mine too, i have a black 06 Avant and there is a chap that lives near me and he has a black 57 plate avant with optics, black glass and dark grey wheels it looks the b*****ks and i cant help admiring it!! I think he has ssp aswell because his seems a bit lower can this be retrofitted?

From what I can tell the best thing to do is see if you can find someone with SS who would like to swop for the standard set up.

my car has the black optics and i want to go the other way. i really wanted it when i bought the car, but i reckon you'll tire of it, like i have.

Is there any chance the paint would start to chip/flake off after a while?

i might just hammerite mine!
