Default Anyone do a conversion to carbon fiber in the C7 A6?

Just saw these interior shots of a RS6 Avant and I like the Carbon Fiber inserts. Anyone ever do the conversion before? Anyone know where to purchase them?

Yes - My car has the inserts and I did a post about it months ago. I bought from the allergro.pl site and the inlays cost me 950 USD after conversion. They look great. I also had my tunnel wrapped in faux leather and stitched

I haven't seen many posts about this in the Audi site, but there have been a significant number of posts in the Porsche forums citing cracks in aftermarket carbon fiber inserts after a few years -- especially if the car was parked outside. I would hope that the OEM Audi inserts would be more resistant. I didn't see anyone come up with a good way to fill the cracks that looked good.

James- the inserts I got are OEM. Here is the link for the inserts

If you type Audi a6 4g0 and it will bring up a lot of things. Take a look. Go to www.xe.com to convert the price

Sure but since I am telling you this and I own the set personally; It is the Atlas Carbon Fiber OEM trim. Came in a VW/AUDI box with part number.

I have done a number of "enhancements" to my vehicle to personalize it so I know OEM versus aftermarket. I don't mind either but I KNOW the difference. I searched a long time to find the Allegro site and even longer to find this trim set. So if u look through the site you will find a lot of stuff. The have the B&O radio for around 2K, and the Surround View cameras for around 1k. This is far off the prices we see and I don't typically mention it because its foreign and most of the posters are American. I am American but I live it Europe so buying from a Polish Ebay site doesn't bother me at all. They do transactions differently. I bought from a vendor already and I got my items no problem. I have this site and VNSMedia successfully; both polish businesses. I don't have a particular vendor to recommend - search the site using Chrome and u can translate the content.

I posted some pictures and took a picture of my dash so u can see its an A6 not an S6.

Excellent sporting interior! Is replacing flat-bottom steering wheel included in your mod? Tried to search their site with steering but could not find anything back with word "steering".
