Does anyone have a spare set of 4.2 blades (complete set plz) that are in good enough shape to install without issue?
-Would love a scratch/blem set as I will be re-spraying them.
ALL I care is that the screw holes are not destroyed/not bent/damaged.
I've been searching for a while with no luck... not too keen on spending $225+ on allroad ones... I just want my narrowbody a6 to have some love & attention...

If you can get a nice clean set for $225, I would go for it. I sold my set for $160, and half the screws had broken off in the tabs and had to be drilled out by the buyer (condition was factored into price)

Can I hijack this just briefly and ask a question?
Are 4.2 blades the same as S6 blades? The S6 blades are always black it seems, and really hard to compare the shape to the 4.2 blades via pics on the net'.
Just curious, one of my S6 blades is starting to swell up.

As far as I know, yes.

Oh, the price is definitely right... but this is a car to sell/beater in the meantime. I'm just looking for the look, will be paintmatched and dont care if they're OEM aluminum or not...

Ah, makes sense

Only the AR blades are aluminum, 4.2/S6 blades are plastic IIRC. The only difference is that the S6 blades are unfinished like the rear valence whereas the 4.2 blades are painted and colour matched.
Rollerton, I can take some pics of my blades if you want for comparison. Just take a pic of what you're concerned about and I'll try to duplicate the shot on my car.

Thanks for the offer, it's not really a concern- I'm just getting getting educated about the S6 and figured it wouldn't be hard to imagine Audi making 3 or 4 different styles of door blades that look so close a seller wouldn't be able to tell the difference! (Like on the B6/B7 A4, where there's the USP blades, S4 Blades, S-Line Blades, flat blades..etc..).
I'm just keeping my eye out, my right front door blade has seen better days- looks likes some rust on the inside and it's going crooked.
