Finally some time spent in the garage and with the RS2!
Was a little bit nervous about the fitting/gluing of the door trims. But it was nothing to be nervous about, went well in the end!
Used tape to hold the glued pieces in place as the glue cured over night. Went to the garage today and took of the masking tape. Before the middle door trims was fitted to the car it was not that disturbing, but now with trims it looks so much better i think.
Now i just have to install the engine cover (under the car). Then it's time to book time for MOT.

Installed front piece with correct matte black paint lower end to blend in behind the mesh grill:

New clips mounted on the doors (for lower trim pieces):

Middle door trims glued in place, also the front/rear lower pieces:

Door trims, upper/lower finished result, happy owner, now i have to get it out on the roads so i can enjoy it not just stand in the garage looking at it..:

Painter called me yesterday and said parts were done! Picked up the parts today, looks good i think. Compared the painted parts with the car and it looks good in the garage. The "real" result will show when the car get's out in the sun with the freshly painted parts on if it's good or not good. Unfortunately i will have to wait 2 weeks before the paint/clearcoat has settled and i can get the trims on the car. Reason: Original the middle door trims were (as far as i found) fitted with double sided tape. Sure, thats good, but a hell to get right/straight when fitted to the car. So i decided to mount them and the lower front/rear lower trims with some kind of glue to get a chance to fit the parts in the right place before the glue settles. So to hold the trims in the right place when the glue settles i need tape to hold them in place, and according to the painter this is not good as is will leave marks in the paint if it has not cured for 2 weeks. Well, summer is not here yet and all the car meetings is cancelled due to Corona. So no stress.
Here is some pictures of the door trims and finally the front plate is painted with the correct matte black behind the grill

Small jobb tonight, fitting head light covers that i bought of a group buy at FB. My car had only the left cover so i bought a set for both sides.
Middle metall piece/braket will be left to the painters to get some matte black on the red marked area as original. Bothered me a loong time, so tonight i took it of and masked it up for the painter. Still waiting on door trims from the painter.

Look at Audi tradition

Thanks for the tip, but they won't ship to the US and I am afraid the cost to ship it twice, through an intermediary, would make it difficult.

Ooo...I'd love to find a belly pan for my CQ. I'm jealous

Work day in the garage.
My heat shields for the exhaust manifold was a little ruff, so when "Error404" made new ones i bought a set. Today i got it fitted to the car. As always lots of parts had to come off. But i'm used to it, so not big of a deal. Parts fitted like a glove
Waxed the rims and mounted them on the car.
Was going to change steering wheel but i was missing a connector for the airbag so that will have to wait until i get a connector.
Otherwise i'm waiting for the door trims, lower/upper to get back from the painter.
Waiting for fasteners for the plastic cover under the engine, then i will install that.
Then the summer is welcome
