Another 'Exclusive' Riviera Blue one hits the dealerships...

It's a pity!! And with the silver trim and v spokes that car looks horrendous

Completely agree, the lighter main paint colour needs to be contrasted with 1 other darker colour. The wheels look too "sharp" with this colour.

Hopefully the silver trim will look better on my Sepang (I'll tell you tomorrow)

Personally I think the V spokes look nice, but I agree the Alu splitter + chrome trim looks horrible. When I commented I didn't really like the Alu (preferring black pack instead) the sales manager who asked me said "I think it breaks up the blue which is quite overpowering, it's the second Riviera I've ordered for that reason"

Horses for courses I suppose.

Does the opposite I think, makes the car look sickly
This is why I had my mirrors painted black and replaced the badges with carbon ones

I agree, the black pack would suit the car much much better.

I must admit, if I was a Riviera owner I think I'd resent Audi a little bit for charging me £2k+ for paint that is now seemingly no longer that 'Exclusive'?

It's annoying as it makes the car more common, most of the ones I've seen so far look horrid, and If I was looking for one now I wouldn't be interested!! as far as I'm aware mines still the only one with the spec it has,still pulls crowds at car shows

Aye it does, equally I've taken to Sepang and black optics.

Get rid of those horrible red brake calipers too. I think they are really spoiling that car...what were Shrewsbury Audi thinking of..

I have to agree, needs to have black optics. I think all colours look better with black optics but this one just looks terrible with the alu.

I might be on my own here, but I actually like that!!

I actually prefer the alu optics over the black optics!!
