What Colour Sline Avant

[kodkod.84]

Lava looks the nuts with the black optic package (well the B7s do)

Colour is a very personal thing but I can vouch for the Quartz Grey being very easy to keep clean, I've had mine a year now and its easily the best colour of car I've ever had in that respect. I love the look too.

Don't get hung up on 19" wheels, 18" wheels with the optional 30mm drop lowers the car and (in my opinion) looks the mutts nuts without the expense of the bigger tyres.

Have fun choosing and enjoy your car whatever you select!

It is a personal thing choosing the colour...



Good luck!

Red looks stunning on the A4 estate. One of my neighbours has one and it looks great. It always surprises me how good the A4 looks in red but how dull a red 3 series BMW looks in comparison

True it's probably a higher maintenance colour - I find this with my red A3 but it's worth it as the Audi red looks quite special

IMHO, the B8 A4s look best in lighter colours.

The Avant manages to look cool in almost every shade though....

Deep Sea Blue all the way for me.



Not my car, took this picture from google but awesome regardless...

My personal thoughts (my excuse is I'm colour blind!)

Monza - really nice but often looks just like "another" silver
White - looks good but I couldn't run a white car and doesn't float my boat
Aruba - see below
Quartz - I really like quartz ... in the right light
Lava - bling on sunny days and dark/black on dull days. It's a nice black ... if you're after black. I swore years ago never to have another black car as in summer it really gets a lot hotter, it shows all the flies etc and in winter you simply can't keep it clean.

So Aruba - the sun and light conditions don't affect it too much. I too had a meteor coloured car and that changed massively.

Aruba's great although if does seem to be getting more popular so best you choose something else

Evening All.

Thank you all for your comments and pictures.
Special mentions to

Pitch- How do you get a shine like that ???....... Do you spend every spare moment cleaning the B8 to get some peace and quiet from Mrs Pitch

Big Bird- Red is now definately on the list.

Scotty - I will maintain Aruba as an option.

Dan172 - I do not do white, purely for cleaning reasons, but if I did I would have one to a similar spec to yours.

In the mean time I'm going to keep the Meteor Grey Saloon. I had tries to see if there were any TDi S line SE Q due into the country before the VAT hike but alas, I waited to long

Lava for you Ham....its just a great colour and drying off with Clearkote quickshine brings out the sparkly flecks.

Lady Pitch only moans when the A4 gets done and the ED30 gets left......bless

Lava Grey is a fanyastic colour.

It isn't bad at hiding dirt, although the rear tailgate does get filthy, mine has the seven arm alloys which look good when clean, and match the paint after the are blackened by the brake dust so look like they are anthracite from a distance

Agree, agree, agree.

I have a pic of mine somewhere with the dust covered wheels and against the grey they either look bright when clean or anthracite, never really dirty.
