Not too sure about that...the surround around the front grill would also be black...(but hard to clarify from the pic).

Thanks chaps.

Spoke to the garage selling the car. It hasn't had the DRC done but said he will give it 3 months warranty. Will I be able get the DRC done under the new warranty, even if they are not currently faulty? wouldn't mind having a years warranty TBH. I have still got a copy of VACOM from when I was looking at B5's a while back, will that be OK for the B7?

Got a viewing at 3 PM tomorrow. :D
In descending order:
E46 M3 (fun, but common place)
TVR Sagaris (axe murderer in the wet)
Porsche 996 911 (no soul)
Porsche Boxter 2.7 (boring)
Audi RS2 (looooved it, except the bills)
Lotus Elise (fun under 60)
Audi S2 380 BHP (X2) (big bills, big hassle, but major fun)
VW Corrado VR6 (took 2 miles to stop)

75k miles or 5 years warranty. Camberley Audi should be your 1st port of call.

The window surrounds and roof rails are black. Exhaust tips look shiny but it has got Millteks on.

Further clarification.

The official line is that the car must have full Audi service history, although Petrol_Dave (& others too?) got his DRC fixed even without the full Audi service history.

I would ask the Dealer to put an Audi warranty on the car, and they would then check out the car for you.
