Purpose and body fitment

The presented moulding has been designed specifically for installation on the front left door of Audi A4 B6 and B7 generation models. The shape, length, and profile are adapted to the factory geometry of the door skin, which facilitates installation and ensures proper adhesion to the sheet metal surface. As a result, the component integrates well with the side line of the body without the need for additional modifications.

Akoya Silver Metallic - Y7H color

The finish in the Akoya Silver Metallic - Y7H shade allows for consistency with the original body paint in this color. The metallic coating promotes uniform light reflection, which improves the visual continuity of the door surface and adjacent panels. In the case of body and paint repairs, the moulding makes it easier to recreate the factory look of the vehicle's side zone.

Component characteristics and application

The moulding serves a decorative function and organizes the side line of the body, while masking minor differences in door panel fitment. This is particularly important during post-collision repairs, door replacements, or bodywork adjustments. The component belongs to the Doors and door panels group, which is why it fits well into comprehensive work on the side of the body, including panel replacement, gap adjustment, and visual refreshment of the vehicle.

Condition of the component and benefits of using a used part

The moulding comes from dismantling and is offered as a used part, which represents a reasonable compromise between repair costs and maintaining the original character of the vehicle. Using a component from the secondary market allows for reduced expenses while maintaining compliance with the manufacturer's factory specifications. For body and paint shops as well as individual users, this is a practical solution for maintenance and post-accident repairs.
