Purpose and function of the component

The offered moulding is dedicated to the rear right side of the Audi RS4 B7 generation body. Its purpose is to provide an aesthetic finish to the lower part of the door and protect the painted surface from typical operational damage, such as minor dents or scratches occurring during daily vehicle use.

Thanks to its factory profile and correct bending radius, the moulding maintains proper adhesion to the door panel, which reduces the risk of gaps, vibrations, and unwanted noises while driving.

Color and visual fit

The element is finished in Phantom Black Z9Y, a color characteristic of the Audi paint palette. This shade allows for consistency with the factory body finish, without the need for additional painting in the case of vehicles in the same color.

Precise color matching and original geometry ensure that after installation, the moulding creates a uniform line with the other side components, which is particularly important in the RS4 B7 model, where the sporty silhouette and widened wheel arches are emphasized.

Installation characteristics

The rear right moulding has been designed as a part intended for a specific mounting location, which facilitates service work and reduces the time required for fitting. The original design allows for the use of factory mounting points in the door, without the need for modifying the panel.

With a properly prepared door surface, the installation proceeds predictably, and correct alignment minimizes the risk of dirt getting between the moulding and the sheet metal, which is important for long-term edge protection.

Condition and service application

The item comes from dismantling and is offered as a used protective and decorative moulding. This type of part is suitable both for post-accident repairs and for replacing worn or damaged mouldings to restore the cohesive appearance of the side body section.

Choosing an original Audi moulding allows you to maintain the factory body lines, which is important not only from an aesthetic point of view but also for the potential value of the vehicle on the secondary market.
