Purpose and function of the component

The described moulding is dedicated to the rear, right side of the Audi A4 B7 generation body and serves as the lower door trim. Its task is to protect the lower edge against minor mechanical damage and to maintain the factory styling line of the side of the vehicle. As an original Audi part, it ensures a proper fit to the door shape and compatibility with factory mounting points.

Color and visual fit

The moulding is finished in the Dolphin Grey Metallic – X7Z shade, used factory-standard in Audi models. The metallic structure of the paint allows for a harmonious blend with other body elements in the same color code, which limits the need for additional painting work after installation. Thanks to this, the component can be used both when replacing a damaged moulding and during body and paint repairs, where maintaining a consistent look of the entire side zone of the vehicle is essential.

Installation characteristics

The Audi A4 B7 Rear Door Lower Strip Moulding Right O/S is designed as a body part mounted in a specific location on the vehicle – on the rear, right side. The properly contoured shape enables correct adhesion to the door panel, which translates into mounting stability and the reduction of gaps. The use of an original component facilitates service work, as it does not require geometry adjustments or modification of mounting points.

Condition and use in repairs

The element comes from the secondary market and is intended for use as a spare part in the process of repairing or restoring the factory look of the side body. It can be used both in post-accident repairs and when replacing worn or damaged mouldings, where maintaining compliance with the original manufacturer's specification and visual consistency of the entire door line is crucial.

Integration with other mouldings and body elements

The moulding works with other door and sill trim elements, creating a uniform protective and styling system. Replacing a single element with an original Audi component allows for maintaining even transitions between adjacent mouldings and preserving the proper fit with the door panel and wheel arch. This solution is particularly important for precise body repairs, where both protective function and aesthetics matter.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the sill zone and the lower part of the door 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.
