Without looking at a picture I'd imagine the top of the door is different as the roofline on an avant keeps going but on a saloon it drops. The B8 is definitely different, I'd imagine this would apply to the B7 too.

A body repair specialist would be able to tap it mostly out, sand, filler and re-spray for less than you'd probably pay for a whole door.

the doors are the same, its just the top frame that is different, but this can be swapped easy enough.

I had a new rear door due to an altercation with a deer recently - the door is all metal...

The saloon door and Avant door are the same - as sar mentions it's the top that's the difference but one can easily switch with existing door ancillaries.

New rear door from Audi (unpainted) is £446...

Mine are definitely plastic - had a new set on drivers side when got clipped by stupid driver.
You can tap them and push them in quite far and the flex easily.
Finally I have a car park ding that is (about to be fixed) through to the undercoat and you can see the plastic underneath.

Ditto. I even saw the Audi rings on the sticker and part number etc. on the bare door.

Ads - are they Audi exclusive or something for weight?????
