OMG! That could have gone better.
Yes I took my time, yes I warmed them up and yes I really F*!%ed this one up but on the bright side I did manage to get the metal strip out .
Paul I take my hat of to you mate for getting the metal strips out in one piece mine where well and truly stuck/bonded to each other
This is how mine ended up

Given the amount of interest & customer demand on here for these RS2 door trims, has anyone got a sensible response from Audi Tradition as "IF" they intend to supply these RS2 Door trims again & when .. then we can all save up our big bucks to buy them as this appears to be the only solution.

Holy crap
I removed the remains of the rusty strip fairly easily, I done this by first zipping along the bottom corner through any remaining metal wit a dremel with a metal cutting disk and then just peeled the metal off the rest of the trim, sides came off easily
With a new one it just peeled off and I still have the metal strip ... somewhere in the garage. One thing I did notice when fitting the new strips is that they are a tight fit which is possibly the additional layers of paint as paint was only flatted down to the primer but I put additional layer over that so the new clips were tight to fit also
The RS2 clips are still available which surprised me
Just how Audi would manage to do a timing belt service now beats me, Belt, water pump and idler all NLA
PM me if you want to know more

Ouch!
I'm resigned to trying to rescue mine and Paul has been very helpful
My metal strips were properly rusted one side, I was scraping them out - nothing much resembling a steel strip at all.
The other side it was a little delicate and took ages, had to get a scraper under them at points, have to say yours seemed to have alot of bonding there. Someone must have been a bit heavy handed when applying it to yours.
The next challenge is fitting new metal strips...AUDI - saving Dad's from minivans since 1994

Now "In Stock" at Audi Tradition. No idea how many sets or for how long. The prices look similar in Euros to what they were when last "In Stock". Are any other parts required to replace RS2 Lower Door Trims (other than the 8 part numbers mentioned below and 26 plastic clips which can be obtained from Audi in the UK)?

Having trawled through 18 pages of posts/replies I guess the lower mouldings are still like hens teeth. Took my RS2 to my local bodyshop guy for a quote for some other issues today. I did ask him if the originals could be salvaged, as they are not damaged - just starting to become detached due to the fixing corrosion problem, but he said that once the moulding starts to warp it is a nightmare to get it back into position to give a good finish. Could spend lots of manhours on it and end result could not be guaranteed.
However he reckons that he could make paintable mouldings from solid fibre glass relatively easily. Bearing in mind the effort that has gone into manufacture of these items by others over the past few years without success I am wondering if it is that simple.. so would value any comments from anyone with experience before I decide to ask the guy to proceed.Cheers

I had a set for my customer last year from audi tradition, for some reason the white primer they come in is not flexible so I had to flake the factory primer off and start again adding flex additive into the products being applied. So anyone who buys some please do this
