Purpose and body fitment

The moulding is specifically designed for installation on the front, right side of the body, on the outer surface of the door. Its placement on the vehicle in the front passenger-side zone ensures proper protection of the door edge against minor mechanical damage and maintains a consistent stylistic line of the body.

Thanks to a design compliant with Audi factory standards, the component maintains the correct geometry, which facilitates installation and allows for proper alignment with the sheet metal contours and adjacent door panel components.

Color and surface finish

The moulding is finished in the Dolphin Grey Metallic - X7Z shade, characteristic of many Audi A4 B7 generation models. The metallic paint coating ensures visual consistency with the factory body paint, which in many cases allows for reducing or completely avoiding additional painting during aesthetic repairs.

The uniform surface finish promotes the maintenance of stylistic harmony on the side of the vehicle, while the appropriately selected structure and gloss make it easy to keep the component clean and perform routine maintenance.

Protective function and structural role

As an element from the Protective and decorative mouldings group, the moulding serves both a visual and functional purpose. In daily use, it helps reduce the risk of minor dents and scratches on the door surface, especially in urban conditions, parking lots, and narrow parking spaces.

The properly selected profile of the moulding also supports correct water drainage from the door surface, which is important for the long-term maintenance of the paint coating and protecting the sheet metal edges against accelerated wear and tear.

Product characteristics and installation

The component comes from the Audi range, which means it adheres to factory standards of workmanship, geometry, and compatibility with the door structure of the A4 B7 model. The product is offered as used, which allows for an economical repair while maintaining the original vehicle specification.

The moulding is intended for installation in the factory location, using the mounting points provided by the manufacturer. A correctly installed component restores the continuity of the side body line, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and proper functioning of the protective feature in the door zone.

Application in repairs and upgrades

The product is suitable for both post-accident repairs and the replacement of worn or damaged door panel components. Thanks to the preservation of the original color and profile, the moulding allows for a technically correct restoration of the vehicle's factory appearance, which is important for both aesthetics and the potential residual value of the car.
