Hi everyone, I have some serious corrosion on what I would describe as the lip above the rear license plate. It's the avant 2000 model. I' got in touch with a mechanic I know and he said he can remove the lip and repaint it but that means I'll be without a car for at least 3 days and from past experience I know it's not always easy to exactly match the paint. So I've been looking into other options and one is to get a replacement lip. My local dealership said they could give me one in silver - any opinions on that? I did think about trying to get it in dark plastic (similar to the allroad which I think looks OK) but they said audi don't make it. Anyway, any suggestions much appreciated.

chrome looks nice and black also why not remove it and paint it black

 

I'm not sure chrome would suit it as there's no silver trim anywhere.

I know you can swap some a4 parts with the passat and octavia but would anyone know if the dimensions are the same for this?

 

Sorry, just had a look at related links and realised LIP is the wrong word. I'm talking about the detachable lead strip directly above the license plate.
