[s-cars] Door Trim GP - The current information PLEASE READ! :- )

[Daniel Hussey]

One other note to ad.  Let's be VERY careful with the packing and shipping!
I had some lower door trim shipped to me for my old S4 and TWO pieces were
damaged in shipping and rendered utterly useless.  I argued with UPS, but
they said they were improperly packaged from the shipper (which was true).
I just want to avoid this happening to me, or anyone else again.  They need
to be tightly packed and in a way which they can not be tweaked or bent.

Later,
