Standard exterior trim options

[Leighg1988]

Hello first post here, just got myself a low mileage 2011 A3 convertible. Happy as Larry! Anyway my A3 has black trim (around the hood, and grill surround) instead of chrome. 

 

Just wanted to know was the chrome an extra or was the black an optional extra at the factory? 
 

thanks in advance

Hi, I know there was a ‘black edition’ which came with a black grille surround. Fairly easy to change the grille just need to remove the front bumper - I’ve gone for a honeycomb aftermarket grille looks a lot better in my personal opinion.

As Ben has said black was the option. Chrome is standard.
