No Problem, if it helps anyone then that's great.

I have the other side to do next so if anyone wants any particular pic's etc when the card is off let me know and I will try and remember and post some.

As a pay back you can come and help me paint strip when I decide to repaint the thing, I'm kind like that

However not having any at all before I have no idea what an OE set should look like fitted, so if any of you nice people out there have a Coupe with a set of OE ones in good condition still fitted I would be most appreciative or a few photos of the fronts and rears form a few angles, thanks in advance, and there will be a cold brew waiting at the Goodwood Revival. ( the only event it looks like I will make this year given the amount of stuff I have to do )

So, here we have the fronts:-





Rears:-





On the rear you can see my comment, haven't a clue how this bit fits, just seems to get squashed out, the second pic shows it more clearly.

As far as the front ones are concerned, I replaced the ones on our Cabrio. a few months ago (f**k, the ain't cheap are they!). The crescent shaped 'ear' should be fitted under/behind the door card. You'll have to remove the card to fit them again.





Hope this helps.

The seal itself is 7.98 Euro from our friends at Audi Tradition. Multiply by two and add shipping and tax and hey presto you have 47.90 Euro. The shipping is such a rip off - they should be ashamed of themselves.

That's shocking! I guess the trick is to order a few small items and get it on the one lot of postage?
