It is the result of my two-year research of the internet and ETKA diagrams. Some kits were pretty hard to find, and part numbering was not obvious and non-linear sometimes.
Four main options available for facelift Audi A3 cars:
Micrometallic Silver (option code PR-5MA) ― basic plastic trims
Aluminium Mistral (option code PR-5TD) ― most popular Premium / Premium Plus packages trims. Glossy metal with laser engravings.
8V1 853 189 A RI2 – left side dashboard trim
8V1 853 190 A RI2 – right side dashboard trim
8V1 853 191 A RI2 – a small part of trim to the left of the center console
8V4 867 409 A RI2 – driver’s door
8V4 867 410 A RI2 – passenger door
8V4 867 419 A RI2 – rear left door
8V4 867 420 A RI2 – rear right door
3D Optik / Glass Optic (option code PR-7TM) ― two-layered plastic trims with a 3D effect. The top layer is transparent; underneath goes the pattern. The 2013-year models were light silver; the facelift version is dark gray.
8V1 853 189 B WC1
8V1 853 190 B WC1
8V1 853 191 B WC1
8V4 867 409 B WC1
8V4 867 410 B WC1

8V4 867 419 M WN5

Aluminum Matt / Brushed Aluminium (option code PR-5TG) ― basic metal trims for 🟥 S3 cars.
8V1 853 189 J 1NK
8V1 853 190 AE 1NK
8V1 853 191 H 1NK
8V4 867 409 H 1NK
8V4 867 410 H 1NK
8V4 867 419 H 1NK
8V4 867 420 H 1NK
There is a variation of door trims with LED lighting (option code PR-5TV):
8V4 867 409 L 1NK
8V4 867 410 L 1NK
8V4 867 419 L 1NK
8V4 867 420 L 1NK
And three more kits were available for original 2012-2013 cars:
Klavierlack / Piano Black (option code PR-5MY) ― the perfect match for the glossy center console and air vents.
8V1 853 189 G MI9
8V1 853 190 P MI9
8V1 853 191 G MI9
8V4 867 409 G MI9
8V4 867 419 G MI9
8V4 867 410 G MI9
8V4 867 420 G MI9
3D luv Dekor Lichtpaket ― the real name of the trims is unknown, and there is no option code either.
They are designed exclusively for 3-door Audi A3 2012. It is one of the unique options of the starter batch of the cars, as a special gift to customers jumping into the unknown. Audi launches similar limited editions with the names like “Edition 1”, “Year 1”, … for most of the new models.
It is the only set with dashboard lighting.
The LED illuminates the entire trim, unlike the other thin stripes under the door card.
8V1 853 189 C WD2
8V1 853 190 C WD2
8V1 853 191 C WD2
8V3 867 409 C WD2
8V3 867 410 C WD2
The door cards of the A3 Hatchback (and Cabrio) are longer than those of the Sedan and Sportback, so it is not possible to completely install this set – illuminated torpedo trims do not have shorter pairs for the doors.
Weiß Grau Camouflage ― one more 3D optik set from the first-year Hatchbacks. There is no information about these trims at all. I guess their numbers should have the D lettering.
And finally, Audi 🟥 RS3 exclusives:
Carbon (option code PR-5MB) ― super expensive set made of the 245 carbon fabric. You won’t even find a used kit for less than 800€. There are third-party carbon kits from garage services as well.
8V1 853 189 J 6T3
8V1 853 190 AF 6T3
8V1 853 191 J 6T3
8V4 867 409 J 6T3
8V4 867 410 J 6T3
8V4 867 419 J 6T3
8V4 867 420 J 6T3
Aluminum Race (option code PR-5MD) ― aluminum trims with carbon texture.
(In fact, a relief vinyl film is glued over the metal. I found out this by accidentally scratching the edge of the molding. I suspect they will turn into PR-5TG if the film will be removed.)
8V1 853 189 L WG1
8V1 853 190 AG WG1
8V1 853 191 K WG1
8V4 867 409 K WG1
8V4 867 410 K WG1
8V4 867 419 K WG1
8V4 867 420 K WG1
Facelift 🟥 RS3 got another option with illuminated door trims (option code PR-7TH):
8V4 867 409 N WG1
8V4 867 410 N WG1
8V4 867 419 N WG1
8V4 867 420 N WG1
Interior Color Kits
In addition to real trims, two packages for retrofitting basic interiors were available for cars of the first year: (Misano Red / Ibis) and (Fog Blue / Ibis) glossy covers, to glue them on top with double-sided tape. Those kits also include covers for the center console panels and a mirror (rounded, old-fashioned model).
All of these are still on sale:
Misano Red / Fog Blue
8V4 072 391 / 8V4 072 391 A ― dashboard and door covers
8V1 072 045 / 8V1 072 045 A ― a side parts of the center console
8V1 072 540 / 8V1 072 540 A ― interior mirror cover with automatic dimming
8V1 072 548 / 8V1 072 548 A ― interior mirror cover without dimming
8V1 061 271 D / 8V1 061 271 C ― sets of textile floor mats
