Audi won’t know either as they’re all manufactured by a third party.

However, after much trawling myself, the code is either L1H7 (Aluminium silver) or Z17 (Asus silver…. But not the same Asus silver as the bodywork).
Depends who you talk to and what colour system they’re using too.

Dave - at Lepsons this is either AWI silver or flat silver - or possibly between the two.

I doubt you'll get it spot on though as they don't paint to a specie RAL colour or alike - just their standard mix I believe. I went with twin-tone black chrome in the end to noticeably move away from the silver that for would not look true OEM...

Good luck...

As per Sam's image, if that's the case, the nearest Lepsons can muster a standard I suggest is their AWI Silver...

If you're getting all four done I wouldn't sweat it.
