Every was pretty easy to install, probaby took 3 hours to install. Took a ton of breaks due to the heat...I've got to vag the airbag now.
The drivers seat looks bad but in person its not too bad. Now I need to clean the beast

So much better!
We all understand that we are getting used items, thus a bit of age may show. Nonetheless, the interior looks much better.
I checked the Bentley manual, and the door panel leather portion does not come apart piece meal. It's all one item. Sorry Phil.
Now find someone with a VAG to get that silly airbag light taken off. Either way, even with the light on, the airbags will work in the event of any issue (God forbid!). Just annoying little thing that's all.

You sure about the airbag working even though the light is on???
In my VW,when the light is on, all the airbags become inactivated. A VW safety feature. Would imagine the same would hold true for Audi.

Yep!
The only reason the airbag light is on is because of the seat belt sensor, which don't come on the Euro Recaro seats. All other sensors are still working.
Kind of like using your car without a seat belt on. If car is in motion, obviously the car will know that someone is at the wheel!

Thanks guys I 'm just not too sure how to pull the light switches out to swap them.
The trim and the door latch are quite easy.
I await your update Nelson.
Thanks guys I really appreciate the support.
The instructions were great.
Next I've got to hard wire the V1.
