The ones pictured here are for a B5.
Failing that, anyone know of the suction-cup kind that look nice, WITHOUT Dora and Spider-Man and anything else other than solid black or grey?

I bought them from my dealer for my B6 S4. They've been around for the B5, B6 and B7 so I see no reason why you can't get them from the dealer for a B8.
p.s. It's scary when you drill holes in the doors for these. Check, check again and then check once more before doing so.

Eddie Bauer or some other baby brands make Ok-looking screens. I think I got some "My First Years" or something that were basic screens at Babies-R-Us for $5 or something. A lot cheaper than the Audi units.
As for the Audi units, I actually bought a set and returned them. they are screwed onto the top of the windowsill, not integrated into the trim. Not what I wanted.
You could theoretically retrofit the factory units but it would be massively expensive because you have to replace the entire inside door panel.

No way - drilling?!!!? I'll go Spider-Man before I start drilling into the car! Okay - maybe not quite that far... I'll let my kids go blind before I go that far. 8-)

Guys,
here is an excellent solution from Germany. No drilling, looks excellent, fairly inexpensive, custom made for our B8s.
