Purpose and fitment

The presented moulding is designed specifically for the rear left side of the Audi A4 B7 generation body, ensuring a proper fit to the door shape and factory mounting points. Its placement in the lower door area means the component serves both a visual and protective function, reducing the risk of paint damage in a critical area exposed to dirt and minor impacts.

Protective and aesthetic function

The rear door lower moulding acts as an additional barrier between the bodywork and external factors. It helps to:

• reduce the susceptibility of the lower door edge to chips and scratches,
• maintain a uniform side line of the body,
• preserve a consistent appearance of the Mauritiusblau Perleffekt paint.

Thanks to this component, you can restore a section of the side bodywork in a controlled manner, without the need to interfere with larger body panels.

Mauritiusblau Perleffekt - Z5C color

The applied Mauritiusblau Perleffekt - Z5C color is a distinctive, pearlescent shade of blue used by Audi at the factory. Selecting a moulding in the same paint code allows for minimizing tonal differences between body elements, which is particularly important when replacing individual components. For owners of an Audi A4 B7 in this color, it is a convenient option when the goal is to maintain a consistent look without additional paintwork.

Characteristics of the used part

The moulding comes from dismantling, which means it is a used part that retains its original geometry and factory surface finish. This type of component is a good choice for maintenance repairs when the priority is compliance with the vehicle's original equipment and a rational cost of restoring the appearance of the side body section.

Application in body repairs

Replacing the lower moulding is particularly justified in situations where the existing element has suffered from:

• mechanical damage (cracks, deformations),
• intense scratching or paint abrasion,
• wear resulting from many years of operation.

A well-matched moulding helps restore the original look of the side body line, which is important both aesthetically and for the potential resale of the vehicle.
