I prefer the utterly pimp/gangster/drug dealer look myself. Will never, ever buy a red car. Seen too many faded out rolling sheds to ever gamble, pearlescent or otherwise!

Sadly my colour is pretty well the worst for scratches. My full detailing job from 3 months ago has been totally, totally ruined by 2 neighbours cutting/grinding out their garages/concrete back gardens on the same day! Caked/glued on building dust all over the car to the point where when I blew on the car there were sand lines. The detailer almost cried yesaterday when I showed him. Suffice to say that the neighbours got totally blasted by me for not warning me and were warned of bloodshed if they did it again without warning.........
Current:

23' C8 RS6 Vorsprung - 23' RS E-Tron GT Carbon Vorsprung

Gone:

"Brutus"- C5 RS6 Avant - MRC stage 2 - Milltek non-res + 100 cell cats - Wagner ICs - PSS9 - H&R ARBs - OZ Superturismo LM - C6 Custom brakes - HD RNS-E - Various other bits - 555PS/832Nm
"Taz"- C7 RS6 - MRC stage 2 745PS/1095Nm
12' Cayenne Turbo, B7 RS4, S3, Cupra R, XJR, EVO VII, STI8,5,2&WRX, 106 GTI&XSI, other crap.

I was looking for Mugello and Silver interior when I was buying... but couldn't find one in budget that ticked all the boxes.
Did find a Missano and Silver combo though... Wasn't sure about this until I saw it in the flesh. Now loving the Red colour and keep the polish / wax topped up to keep it looking fresh.

I do love the piccies of Footlong's black beast though. Like the look of the drug dealer style, but think a skinny white-boy like myself would look silly in one!

The Audi RS 6 plus has black natural leather seats and carbon fibre trim strips as standard. Customers can choose between all standard exterior colours of the RS 6 - or between the Blue, Silver and Black/Cognac packages that are available at no extra charge. The Blue equipment package comprises the special colour Sprint Blue, pearl effect, for the body; the seats are in black leather with silver-coloured Alcantara centre sections. The blue threads in the carbon fibre inserts echo the body colour. The Audi RS 6 plus with Silver package has the special body colour Silver, metallic, and the black leather seats contrast subtly with the Alcantara centre sections, which are also black. The matt brushed aluminium trim inserts provide a note of contrast here. The Black/Cognac equipment package looks particularly stylish. The exclusive body colour of Ebony Black, pearl effect, harmonises perfectly with the trim strips in black piano finish. Cognac-coloured leather seats with black piping accentuate the interior.

Found this so thought I'd post it here.

So it seems that no one really likes Green. So anyone with one has a very rare car indeed.

There be a saying I once heard !! "Once you go black you never go back!!" :shock: Personally I love it when its clean .... but its a bugger to keep that way. Spent 4 hours last Friday doing a full wash and detail clay and wax and the deep shine at sunset is pure sex. As its been a good week so it still looks good ( albeit dusty) but it needs the windows darkenend and the rear lights smoking to complete the package IMO and of course with the black optics & titans it just looks mean and bad! love it. :) Ive had a Daytona ( B7) which is again superb colour with optics and an Avus B5 which shimmers slight purple when clean. Both lovely colours. Misano..... individual choice but nice when clean. Ive seen a couple of B5 4's in Goodward Green but its not for me.
B7 RS4 - 07 Phantom, Silver leather, 59k. Current
B5 RS4 - 01 Avus, B7 Brake kit, Miltek cat back, Sroof, leather, optics. 66k. Current
B8 RS4 - Sepang, BO, Roof, Sports Sold
C5 RS6 + # 296 Ebony black, full optics, titans, carbon and natural leather - sold and missed
B7 RS4 Avant Daytona Pearl, black optics, SS+, buckets, privacy. Sold
B5 RS4 - MRC 420. Gone but not forgotten.

or a particularly disturbed owner of an ebony black has changed his ip and voted multiple times..Mugello is quite clearly the fastest and best looking.
