Purpose and fitment

The presented moulding is an OEM Audi part, designed specifically for the A4 and RS4 B7 generation models. Its placement on the vehicle is defined as front, right side, which means it mounts to the outer edge of the front right door. Thanks to its factory geometry, the moulding maintains proper adhesion to the door panel and works with the original mounting points.

Protective and aesthetic function

The moulding belongs to the Protective and decorative mouldings group, combining visual appeal with practical protection. Its purpose is to:

• protect the lower and middle parts of the door panel from minor impacts and scratches,
• mask the transition between body panels,
• maintain the continuity of the side line characteristic of the A4/RS4 B7 version.

The Phantom Black - Z9Y color allows for an aesthetic match to the body paint in the same shade, reducing the need for additional paint work, provided the vehicle has the identical color code.

Technical characteristics and installation

The moulding is intended for installation on the front right door, in the side zone of the body. The component's construction is adapted to the factory holes and mounts in the Audi A4 / RS4 B7 door, which facilitates proper seating and ensures stable hold during vehicle operation.

As a used OEM part, the moulding retains its original geometry and profile, which is important for precise alignment with adjacent body elements. Proper fitment minimizes the risk of gaps, stresses, and unwanted noises while driving.

Phantom Black - Z9Y color

The Phantom Black - Z9Y finish is a characteristic dark paint used by Audi at the factory. Using a moulding in this shade allows you to:

• maintain a uniform appearance of the side body section,
• limit the scope of paint work when replacing a damaged moulding,
• maintain visual consistency with other trim elements in the same color.

Use in repairs and upgrades

The element is suitable for both standard post-accident repairs and for restoring the completeness of the body in Audi A4 or RS4 B7 restoration projects. Replacing a damaged moulding with an original component allows you to restore the factory look of the door and improve protection of the side body section against operational damage.

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

Used condition and part selection

The moulding is offered as a used part, which is a reasonable compromise between cost and maintaining the manufacturer's original specification. In the case of OEM body parts, it often ensures a better fit than aftermarket replacements, which is important for precise alignment with the door and other body components.
