I think it wouldn't look very good unless you have black interior. The new a4's look amazing with the fishscale style aluminum

Out of all honesty, id NEVER put that aluminum stuff in my car....... A friend of mine put that stick on aluminum trim overlay in his 4th gen Supra and it looked HORRIBLE...... He ended up pulling it out after a week.......It's basicly thin guage aluminum with double sided tape on the back of it..... After a few hours in the heat, the attached metal starts to lift up and delaminate where it was originaly stuck to.......... Even if you were to use an adhesive that could hold the overlay down........ It's still looks very cheap & doesnt complement an interior at all........ Just my opinion.......
