Dilemma Dilemma !

Fine Grain Ash looks a little tacky in images I've seen, not seen it in person
My current A4 has Matt Brush Aluminium which looks clean
Piano black looks fantastic but I can imagine cleaning it would be fun

Any recommendations?

I have the s-line matt brush aluminium.

I'd recommend instead getting the piano black.

I was just out of budget on all the other extras, so had to compromise!

Good luck

Thanks, missus likes the Matt Brush Aluminium which honestly does look quite nice and on an S-Line with Piano Black it is all a little too dark. What do you think about the 20" PQU alloys on a Glaciar White? I'm thinking of saving on that, going 19" and air suspension, concerned about the firmer ride?

I found the brush aluminium looks and feels a bit plasticy ( in mine, anyway ).

Assuming 20" PDU are "8.5J ‘5-arm rotor’ design titanium look alloy wheels" ( I don't have a brochure anymore), then I think they'll look good.
I went for the 19" s-line alloys, because of the extra cost of the 20" wheels and ongoing cost of tyres in the future.

I haven't driven with the air suspension, but if you've tried it and it was good, then I'd recommend it.
The ride has been much harsher than I would have liked.

Thanks for prompt response, the alloys are exactly that and don't look too shabby in 'Audi Build' Configurator, you're right about the cost so I'm thinking of going for Audi Complete Incl Tyres to counter the extra cost.

Many people have commented very positively on my Fine Ash grain. Try and get to see one yourself.

Quite honestly, the pictures do not do it justice. It feels and look better.
