$100 part, paint + labor = $630. It's the fucking size of a quarter. So I'm going to order a $30 one on eBay and f'ing spraybomb it or pay a painter $20 to do it. You can install the damned thing with your hands and five minutes.
Checkout one of the made-to-order automotive paint places online, Jake and I have bought stuff from "automotivetouchup.com" and had good luck. They'll send you a rattle can of your exactly color, and with a part that small you'd never notice it wasn't done professionally. I've used it to respray those little half-dollar sized pieces that go in the E36's side skirts.
Now: 07 Porsche Cayman S | 18 VW Tiguan

Sherman Williams is very good about this stuff too. I think I paid like $16 for a can of Subaru World Rally Blue and it was a perfect match. Even got a can of clear coat for it. Best part is that they mix it right then and there, so no waiting.
Thanks, will consider both options. Another option is that the loaner matches my car's color. Little game of swaperooni in the Audi Service Center parking lot? 
It seems some dude in Germany or Poland used to supply them pre-painted, but that was years ago. Bummer.

Right. It pretty much is. I think we're limited to German or a Lincoln?

Yeah our RDX resets seats and mirror positioning with the memory keys. The newer ones might do even more, I'm not sure. The MDX stores even more information like radio presets, cliimate control etc. like my Jag does.

Hah. Nice find. If he did individuals I'd be all over it. I still want to verify the failure with my own ears (you can listen for them to click when the ignition is turned on) because I don't trust dealership diagnosis for shit.

Right. It pretty much is. I think we're limited to German or a Lincoln? They do in Europe, ship a seat and install.
"Further upgrades are applied to all SE-L Lux and Sport models, with a memory function for the powered driver’s seat and a 6-way powered passenger seat as standard.

The only thing that MUST be moved is the rear view mirror, and the silly memory seats dont work on that.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
I do feel Mike's pain. My wife is all of 5'1 with heels on and I am not kidding when I say that i can't fit my legs between the steering wheel and seat when she has been driving the car. Her seats adjust 3 ways and it would be a huge PITA to manually get my seating position and mirror settings back to perfect every time.

My wife not once has sat in my driver's seat nor will she ever unless life or death emergency. I'm talking about her car which we mostly take everywhere now (both have memory seats). If we drive somewhere together, she prefers that I drive but she also frequently takes the car out for errands herself.
