So, I have just bought a nearly new Audi S3 white Lunar Silver interior... And I couldn't help but notice how grubby the white 'leatherette' door armrests looked. So, I figured - hey, I'll change them!

Does anyone know how to remove the armrest? Is it door card off then access from the inside? Or does it need to go that far?

I wondered what it would look like so mocked them up in Photoshop. Let me know what you think.

Or could swap out for a whole black interior with so.eone and never have to worry again...

Ride Italian. Drive German. Kiss French.
 
Yeah think the black arm tests look good mate.

It's door card off then four screws and some heat stakes that you'll need to melt off with a soldering iron. I'll post pics tomorrow when I have access to them.
 
Hope this helps, Rob this is your photo from the B&O lighting thread

Yeah good thinking mate ;o)

Left of the pic in the middle you can see the window/mirror switch pack and the heat stakes to the front of the handle pull.
 
OK thanks guys, hugely useful. Looks like a slightly bigger job than I hoped; don't really want to commit to it myself.

Either of you based in London who fancy the job for £50?☺
