Not great shots but it gives you an idea.
White dials where standard here in the UK on the Sport Quattro model (Facelift A4's) the ally rings and carbon are not.

That looks really good actually - the contrast adds to the look. I like it and wouldn't change it.

i used this paint. i took my handles out of the door panel. removed all the switches. used some
with a little bit of elbow grease all the paint came off. then i soaked them in hot soapy water rinsed them dried them and took some compressed air and dried out the holes where the switches go. then i painted. turned out way better than i was expecting. i even lightly sanded a nick out of one of the handles. its farely easy, the hard part is finding paint that somewhat matches. i bought two cans and sprayed one of the handles half and half and held it up to the door...the other stuff i got was to white. so i went with "pebble".
post picks when you're done!

^^yeah plus if you are low on cash (like me) its a cheap easy way to do something to your car and it satisfies a little of the modding hunger...although its not really a mod but you know what i mean.
