Purpose and fitment

The presented moulding is designed specifically for the rear left body area of the Audi A4 B7 generation in the S line version. The shape, profile, and mounting method are consistent with the factory door geometry, allowing for precise alignment with the door skin and other side body components.

By maintaining the original design line, the moulding restores the aesthetics of the vehicle’s side profile following mechanical damage or disassembly, without the need for body modifications.

Protective and aesthetic function

The moulding serves both a protective and decorative function. It protects the lower part of the door against typical operational damage, such as minor impacts or scratches, while simultaneously emphasizing the sporty character of the S line version.

The factory Dolphin Grey Metallic X7Z color ensures consistency with the body paint, which reduces the need for additional paint work after installation, provided the vehicle’s shade matches the manufacturer’s specification.

Condition of the item and benefits of choosing a used part

The moulding comes from disassembly and is offered as a used part, which is a cost-effective solution while maintaining original manufacturing quality. Choosing such a component allows for maintaining the vehicle’s factory appearance without resorting to replacements with uncertain fitment.

The original construction ensures proper adhesion to the door skin and compatibility with factory mounting points, which facilitates workshop work and shortens installation time.

Dolphin Grey Metallic X7Z color scheme

The Dolphin Grey Metallic X7Z shade is a distinctive metallic gray color used by Audi, which blends well with the body line of the S line version. Using a moulding in this color allows for maintaining a uniform appearance of the vehicle’s side, without visible tonal differences resulting from the use of non-factory elements.

For vehicles with the same paint code, the moulding can significantly reduce the scope of necessary paint work, which translates into time and budget savings during visual repairs.

Expansion and other Audi body components

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the side body area of your Audi and need other elements from the same group, such as covers, overlays, or additional strips, check the available parts in the Audi protective and decorative strips category.
