    Hi folks. I'm seriously thinking of buying a new facelift A6. However i'm not prepared to pay €1,400 for metallic paint. So that leaves white or black. I'm getting the nugget brown interior (black dash and carpets) with fine ash wood trim. Which would you go for? I'm tempted toward white as black is a nightmare to clean.

    Exactly my issue. Had chosen glacier white but having seen it in the flesh yesterday at my local dealer compared to Ibis white, it was a no brainier - ibis looked fantastic with black edition trim. Immediately changed my order to ibis and saved myself £655 at the same time!

    Ibis White is my preference but it's a matter of personal choice!

    My my mate has a 2012 A6 Avant in Black and it looks stunning ........... when clean! White ain't easy to keep clean either but IMHO white has the edge! It accentuates the lines of the car better but black looks good in the sun.

    Hard choice my friend!!

    Mine Brilliant Black, in my opinion black, red and white always look good when its no pearl or metallic, brilliant black looks very wet deep black, i had black metallic passat before and i spend hrs on polishing to get deep wet black color, otherwise always looked bit dusty for me

    Can't believe Audi wants that much for metallic paint in Ireland when it is "only" £655 in the UK. That said the Tech Pack you are offered is a steal as it includes HUD and only €2450 the UK version is about the same price but no HUD

    Yes - definitely white! I'm soooo glad I've changed my order from glacier to ibis. Yours looks stunning.
